This website contains information on the history of the gallery and past exhibits only.
The Mansfield campus art gallery in Allen Hall was named "The Loomis Gallery" to honor Professor Thomas Loomis's perseverance and dedication to Art at Mansfield University. Loomis served on the Mansfield University faculty from 1971 to 2001 and was involved in art throughout his life. The gallery is committed to fulfilling the mission of the university: scholarship, service, culture and character. Thomas H. Loomis (1941-2021) embodied all of these ideals in his tenure as both Gallery Director and Professor of Art.
The dedication ceremony, featuring a talk by Loomis, took place on Friday, October 12, 2012. A plaque at the gallery reads: "Tom Loomis. Throughout his active 31 years as Professor Emeritus of Art in the Mansfield University Art Department, he has given selflessly of his time and talents for the benefit and enrichment of our entire campus and the community at large. Tom believed a constant source of cultural presence from professional artists, faculty and juried student shows would enhance the campus community to diverse forms of expression. It is through the Art Acquisition and Exhibition Committee he functioned as a visible role-model teaching students what was required of a real-world gallery curator in all the processes involved to make this a reality. Tom's direction and guidance along with his commitment to Mansfield University's Core Values of scholarship, service, culture and character commends dedication of the Loomis Gallery in his honor."
In an effort to preserve the history of the artists who had showings in the gallery, we have created this page with information on past exhibits. It will be updated irregularly with new exhibits (we hope). To see current, recent, and upcoming shows, visit the Loomis Gallery Facebook Page.

Phil Hendrickson
Curiosity for our traditional notions of what is unnatural has led me to collect organic and mechanical representations from our daily lives that I reshuffle and recombine into works of art.
Andrew Wales
Creative challenges can be an example of apophenia. When there is a piece of something that you tell yourself you have to use, sometimes the rest of it appears in your imagination in such a way that you just have to commit it to paper.
