Overlooking Lake Andrews, the Olin Arts Center is home of the Department of Art and Visual Culture<\/a>, the Department of Music<\/a>, and the Bates Museum of Art<\/a>. From the privacy of music practice rooms and art studios to the expansive museum galleries and the acoustic excellence of the 300-seat concert hall, Olin Arts Center supports creative expression. As with other Bates offerings in the arts, programs in music and art welcome non-majors. Museum exhibitions are thought-provoking, such as a show of contemporary art by artists from Saudi Arabia. The museum hosts the popular Senior Thesis Exhibition featuring artwork by senior art majors and attended by professors, staff members, friends, and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olin also houses a slide library, classrooms, faculty offices, individual and group practice rooms for musicians, art studios (including a drawing studio with a panoramic view of Lake Andrews), and two photographic darkrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through its temporary exhibitions and the permanent collection, as well as programming and education outreach, the Museum of Art is an integral part of the intellectual and cultural life of the college and region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
