Wesleyan has a rich heritage of excellence in the arts. The Center for Creative and Performing Arts serves Wesleyan and the Middle Georgia community with a variety of visual, performing, and literary arts experiences. Our students benefit from direct links between those experiences and their courses in art history, English, music, studio art, theater, and voice. We plan art exhibits, workshops, artist-in-residence programs, audition and portfolio reviews, and focused internships. This Center also is responsible for maintaining and enhancing the College’s considerable collection of art holdings.

Adopt-a-Painting: The Conservation & Restoration Program
for Wesleyan’s Art Treasures
In 2002, Wesleyan established a program to conserve and restore our significant works of art. Our aim is to preserve the aesthetic and monetary value of our permanent collection—a collection that has great use to students, scholars and art appreciators. Conservancy is the top priority including assessments, re-stretching and cleaning canvases, remounting canvases, treating works on paper, and restoring historic frames. Appreciators of art and friends of the college have contributed to the conservation of our collection by “adopting” a painting for restoration. Our expert conservators have examined 150 works of art and provided us with estimates depending on the extent of work involved in restoration. Some paintings suffer from large cracks and loss of paint due to age and environmental conditions, others simply need a cleaning.

The Sisters by Frances Coates Jones (1857-1932) was adopted by the Wesleyan Class of 1960 and restored through the Adopt-a-Painting program. Many other paintings in need of “adoption” and those already restored are pictured on our website. More information! |
