Wilkinson College\u2019s Escalette Collection is delighted to announce a gift from the Ellingson Family to support its goal of building an inclusive permanent collection. For the past two years, annual gifts from the Ellingsons have allowed the Escalette to target core areas of the Collection. This year\u2019s gift will be used to acquire work by Black artists from the southern California region.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very grateful to the Ellingson family for their generous gift that will allow Chapman to recognize the significant contributions that black artists have made, contributions that have often been overlooked and are finally receiving the attention they deserve,\u201d said President Daniele C. Struppa.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
