James House

James House was begun as a student initiative in 2005. The goal was to create a space in the former security building located between Gummere, Parker House and Woodside that could be used entirely by students to make art on their own time. Four years later, the space is filled with comfy furniture, tons of art supplies, and a continually rotating set of murals on the walls. Each semester we hold several student-led workshops on arts and crafts projects ranging from tie-dye to scrapbooking to chip carving. James House also generally holds 1-2 arts-themed parties a semester.

James House is headed by a board of students. The board is responsible for keeping the house clean and well-stocked, as well as organizing and hosting workshops and parties.
