Art Department Tour

Take a guided tour of the Art Department at UW–Madison! You’ll visit both the Humanities Building and the Art Lofts. Meet on the 6th floor of the Humanities building.

The George L. Mosse Humanities Building, named for renowned UW-Madison cultural historian George Lachmann Mosse (1918-1999), houses a student gallery, and printmaking, painting, drawing, design, comics, photography, multimedia/digital, video/performance, metals, wood, and sculpture facilities, art education classrooms, as well as faculty and graduate studios.

Formerly a university warehouse, the Art Lofts is the home of state-of-the-art ceramics, glass, papermaking, and bronze foundry facilities, graduate darkroom and digital labs, studio spaces for more than 60 faculty and graduate students, public spaces for the display of student and faculty artwork at the Art Lofts Gallery, Backspace Gallery, and the Gelsy Verna Project Space, and a large art performance space.
