The Kansas State University Department of Art will present the Visual Communication Design BFA Exhibition from April 23- May 1, 2026 in the Mark A. Chapman Gallery, in Willard Hall. A reception will be held from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm on Friday, May 1st in the gallery. Events are free and open to the public.

The Mark A. Chapman Gallery on the first floor of Willard Hall, across from the art office, opened in 2005. Cheryl Mellenthin and Mark Chapman funded a complete renovation of the former Willard Hall Gallery, increasing the exhibition space to over 1,400 square feet along with 400 square feet dedicated to exhibition preparation and kitchen facilities. The Department of Art hosts BFA and MFA student exhibitions in the gallery as part of graduation requirements each semester. The technology friendly gallery serves not only exhibition purposes, but also provides a location for an active Visiting Artist lecture program.
