The Plymouth State University Art Department is housed in the Draper & Maynard Building, a renovated factory building on Main Street, which was the home of the famed Draper & Maynard Sporting Goods Company. Our studios are large, with 12-foot high ceilings and enormous windows that flood the rooms with light.
The building houses painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, and photography studios, a slide library, classrooms, faculty offices, and the departmental office. It is also home to the Karl Drerup Art Gallery, which presents professional exhibitions, lectures, films, and other regular events, as well as the Collins Gallery for the exhibition of student work.
