Partnership with Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park

Aquinas College Art Department has a long-standing relationship with Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.  Since 1999, our endowed Lena E.S. Meijer Professor in Art History at Aquinas College has been held by world-class art historians, currently Professor Henry Luttikhuizen.

Throughout our campus, we continue to display sculptures on loan from Meijer Gardens. Every semester, we integrate the collections and exhibitions at Meijer Gardens into our courses and assign students special research projects.

Pictured below are AQ students Emma Bowen and Kiera Troost, with artist Jaume Plensa, and Professors Dana Freeman, Henry Luttikhuizen, and Chris LaPorte (left to right) at Jaume Pensa's exhibit.
