Kenyon CollegeA walk down Middle Path

Bexley Hall

Bexley is a study in visual contrasts, a two-course feast for the eyes. Outside, the stately grace of old brick dominates, for this is one of Kenyon's landmark "castles," anchoring the north end of Middle Path as Old Kenyon anchors the mile-long pathway on the south. Inside, the look is contemporary, colorful, eclectic, provocative, and always fascinating, for Bexley is the home of the College's studio art faculty. The hallways, offices, and studios here—and in adjoining Colburn Hall as well as the nearby Mayer Art Center—are filled with works-in-progress in every medium. Drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, digital art, video art, installation art: students may create works in all of these forms, in classes taught by professors who are accomplished artists themselves.
