Boasting 6500 square feet, the William and Florence Schmidt Art Center, located on the Belleville campus of Southwestern Illinois College, facilitates visual literacy through exhibitions of art and cultural artifacts while inspiring, informing, and connecting the college and community.

With changing exhibits throughout the year, it showcases the art created by professional artists from around the country and local high school and college artists who are just beginning their journey in the art world. In addition, the Schmidt Art Center hosts cultural events in conjunction with professional artists, poets, and musicians. Owning over nine hundred works of art, the Schmidt Art Center boasts the most extensive collection held by any two-year college in Illinois, including paintings, photographs, sculptures, and artifacts.

The collection was mostly acquired through private donations and funds from the Illinois Art in Architecture program. [1]

Owned by Southwestern Illinois College, The Schmidt operates under its Foundation and may be rented for private events.
