Art in the SRJC Libraries

The SRJC Libraries are known for their innovative integration of art into spaces, instruction, and community activities. Exhibiting art in the Libraries makes it accessible to the community. Through the Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation, the Art in the SRJC Libraries Endowment helps support exhibits and art-related events. Contributions of any size are welcome.

The Doyle Library is home to a permanent collection of artworks by Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) faculty and staff members past and present. The abundance of natural light in Doyle Library, the large expanses of wall space, and the overall design give opportunity to showcase the various talents of those who teach, create and have contributed to SRJC in various ways. The works of art are located in the stairwell and on the third and fourth floors of the Doyle Library.
