Creativity After Combat

What is the Escalette Collection of Art?

The Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Collection of Art is an academic unit of Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. As such, the mission of the Escalette Collection is to install, research, store, and care for the artwork in the collection, as well as to organize exhibitions and community outreach throughout Chapman’s campus. We are committed to the development of a focused permanent collection of art that meets teaching and research needs on campus, reflects the multi-cultural nature of Southern California, promotes new artistic talent in the region, and participates in current global artistic discourse.

The Escalette Collection has approximately 200 artworks on display in the buildings and outdoor areas throughout campus at any one time, which is why we’ve nicknamed ourselves “a museum without walls.” Areas with the largest concentration of objects on display include: 3rd and 4th Floors of Beckman Hall,  Keck Center for Science and Engineering, Henley Galleria (2nd Floor) in Argyros Forum,  Moulton Hall, 633 West Palm Building , and the Outdoor Sculptures on main campus. These works, and those not on display, can be viewed on our eMuseum website at https://wilkinsonartcollections.chapman.edu/collections.
