Reference excerpt

Marshall University Visual Arts Center (originally known as Anderson Newcomb Co. and Stone & Thomas) is an arts center in Huntington, West Virginia, US, next to Pullman Square. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 under the Downtown Huntington Historic District.

History

Anderson Newcomb Co. (1902-1980) In 1894, J.W. Valentine opened a dry goods shop in the current day downtown Huntington. A year later, he partnered with W.H. Newcomb, later naming the store Valentine & Newcomb. After years of rapid growth, in 1902 Valentine & Newcomb opened a three-store building on 3rd Avenue. Five years later in 1907, Valentine sold his shares of the store to E.G. Anderson, which later renamed the store Anderson Newcomb Co. In 1920, after years of reconstruction, the Anderson Newcomb Co. building added three floors to the main building. Almost thirty years later, in 1956 two more stories were added to the building.

Stone & Thomas (1980-1996) In 1980 the building was purchased by Stone & Thomas, a United States chain of department stores based in Wheeling, West Virginia. Sixteen years after opening, Stone & Thomas closed its Huntington location, due to Bankruptcy issues.

Marshall University Visual Arts Center (2013-Present) After sitting abandoned, the building was purchased by Marshall University in 2013, to redevelop it into a home for their visual arts program.

Features

Birke Art Gallery In 1977, the Marshall University Art Gallery, which was the first art gallery created by Marshall University. Two years later in 1979, it was renamed the Birke Art Gallery after Helen and William D. Birke, owners of the Huntington Publishing Company. In 2022, the Birke Art Gallery moved from Smith Hall to the first floor of the Visual Arts Center. Today the gallery is host to a series of rotating exhibitions throughout the year including an annual juried student exhibition.

Charles W. and Norma C. Carroll Gallery The Charles W. and Norma C. Carroll Gallery is a 2,200-square-foot gallery on the first floor of the Visual Arts Center. The gallery was renamed in 2015 after Charles and Norma Carrol, two graduates from Marshall University and owners of Carroll Insurance. The inaugural 2014 exhibition, We ART Marshall, featured artwork by students, faculty, and alumni of Marshall University.

Pneumatic Gallery The Pneumatic Gallery is a student art gallery that opened in late 2021. The gallery, renamed in 2024 from the Student Gallery, is strictly a student gallery to practice all aspects of putting on an exhibition.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Marshall University Visual Arts Center

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Marshall University Visual Arts Center claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Marshall University Visual Arts Center before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Marshall University Visual Arts Center ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Marshall University Visual Arts Center

In research: Marshall University Visual Arts Center appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Marshall University Visual Arts Center in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Marshall University Visual Arts Center is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2013 establishments in West Virginia, Agricultural buildings and structures in West Virginia, Art museums and galleries established in 2013, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Marshall University Visual Arts Center outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
