The Escalette Permanent Collection of Art Rather than being housed in a museum or gallery, The Escalette Collection of Art is displayed throug

Phyllis and Ross Escalette became interested in the art displayed at Chapman, and were intrigued by its accessibility to both the campus and local communities and its potential as an educational and cultural resource. The Escalettes established an endowment for the collection, and in 2010, it was dedicated and renamed the Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Collection of Art in honor of their generosity. Funds generated by the Escalette Permanent Art Collection Endowment continue to support the operation and expansion of the collection. Beckman Hall is home to a large selection of works from the Escalette Collection, where it is seen by students, faculty, and visitors every day. The art is also displayed throughout campus, including Moulton Hall, 633 W. Palm, and the Harry and Diane Rinker Health Science Campus in Irvine.
