Biographical / Historical

Wesleyan’s Center for the Arts (CFA) complex of buildings, designed by Kevin Roche, John Dinkeloo and Associates, opened in 1973. One building was designed as a new gallery space, known as the CFA galleries, to be dedicated primarily to contemporary art and student works. After construction, the gallery was occasionally divided into two separate exhibition spaces, known as the CFA North and CFA South galleries. This space augmented the university’s Davison Art Center gallery, whose focus was primarily on printmaking and photography. The CFA gallery was renamed the Ezra [Wesleyan class of 1947] and Cecile Zilkha Gallery in the fall of 1982 in honor of a gift from The Zilkha Foundation, Inc.
