Opened in 1995, the Ethel Sergeant Clark Smith Gallery covers the floorplan of the original 1950s cinderblock building. The 2007 renovation brought new hardwood floors and museum-quality LED lighting. With 2,500 square feet of exhibition space, this gallery is an inviting venue for emerging and established artists.

Created in his memory, the Steven Laden Meditation Garden kicked off the Wayne Art Center’s landscape campaign. The garden serves as a source of inspiration and respite for students and community and reflects Steve’s lifelong love of gardens and understanding of the important cultural, aesthetic and biological impact of plants. The result is a restful, peaceful place – an oasis of calm in a garden setting that helps students connect with their own creativity.
