One of the best ways to support our students is by visiting exhibits and viewing their work.
This on-campus gallery exhibits nationally recognized visiting artists.
The Sheffield Wood Gallery was dedicated to Visual Arts alumnus Sheffield Wood as a memorial to her achievements while attending the Fine Arts Center.
Sheffield will not only be remembered as an accomplished student of the arts, but also as a generous and kind spirit treasured by those who knew her. At the request of her family, The Sheffield Wood Scholarship was established in 1999. It is presented annually to a senior arts student who lives by the same high standards that Sheffield demonstrated throughout her life.
As a student of the Fine Arts Center during her junior and senior years in high school, Sheffield Wood excelled in her work in the visual arts. She earned many distinctions, including: Outstanding Student in Metals, The Rhode Island School of Design President’s Award as outstanding senior in the visual arts department, and more.
