B Gallery
A student-run exhibition space within the Fine Arts Building. The space is run by a volunteer team of Western students and a department faculty advisor. It is a safe, professional space for Western students to independently and creatively exhibit their work. It is an ideal space for artists to organize what is often their first exhibition.

Art Drop Mini
Art Drop Mini is a collaborative project conducted by the art department’s professional practices class, showcasing affordable, handmade art! The project makes available student artworks and in turn provides scholarship funding for art department students.
The professional practices class jump started the old Art Drop legacy in a new way, replacing the old, tired, and broken vending machine utilized by previous classes with two capsule dispensing machines! Each capsule costs a dollar and contains one piece of handmade art. The Art Drop Mini machines are located in the Fine Arts building, one next to the entrance to the main office on the first floor and the other near the top of the far right staircase and the photography lab on the second floor. If you are planning to stop by, remember to bring some quarters!
