Buchwald Center
The entire MVNU Art Department is housed in the refurbished and redesigned historic Stage building in downtown Mount Vernon, renamed the Buchwald Center and opened in 2009,

a convenient short shuttle-bus ride from main campus. This relocation is a dramatic increase in studio space from approximately 7,000 square feet in our old facility to approximately 32,000 square feet of space. This four story building includes state-of-the-art studios, classrooms, faculty offices, track lighting, film projection capabilities, and more. The first level includes Schnormeier Gallery, which displays student, professional, and community exhibitions. The building was the first LEED certified building in Knox County. The creation of this new and exciting art facility was made possible by generous donations of the Mount Vernon business community. We look forward to expanding our strong relationship with the city of Mount Vernon by bringing dynamic cultural and educational opportunities for all in the renaissance of the downtown community. Mac Lab
Located on the first floor of the Buchwald Center. The Mac lab contains 30 dual-boot iMacs with Adobe Creative Suite software (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver) available on the Mac platform only. Many graphic design courses are taught in the lab; it is open additional hours for student use.

Mount Vernon Nazarene University’s Schnormeier Gallery is proud to present Momentum – Senior Graphic Design Exhibit. This exhibit will be on display in the gallery from March 28 to April 8, 2022. The exhibition will open on March 28 at 1 pm. An Opening Reception for the Seniors will take place at the Schnormeier Gallery from 6–8 PM on April 1, 2022.

Momentum is defined as the “impetus gained by a moving object.” The 2022 Senior Graphic Design Exhibit is inspired by the continuous evolution of graphic design and what that means for the Senior Class. They have been shaped by the design world and have been asking what it could look like as they enter the real world. They have learned to enhance their skills and understanding of design in a way that allows them to collaborate and move forward.

The Schnormeier Gallery is located at 221 S. Main St., Mount Vernon, on the first floor of MVNU’s Buchwald Center. It is open Monday through Friday, from 1-5 p.m. For more information, contact the Schnormeier Gallery at [email protected].
