About this Venue:

Duerksen opened in 1956 as the Fine Arts Center and was designed to house the activities of the College of Fine Arts. Unfortunately, a planned wing for the art department was not constucted due to lack of funds. The School of Art and Design (formerly the art department) is now located at the McKnight Art Center and Henrion Hall. The Fine Arts Center was later renamed for the alumnus and long time dean of the college, Walter Duerksen. The facility, which houses the School of Music and WSU's main Fine Arts Box Office, includes the 523-seat Miller Concert Hall, classrooms and practice studios.

Dr. Lewis Miller and his wife Selma were devoted patrons of the arts, giving anonymous assistance to art students and programs. An artist herself, Mrs. Miller served on the board of directors of the 麻豆传媒映画出品 Art Association from 1938-1961. Following Dr. Miller's death in 1969, 麻豆传媒映画出品 dedicated the Lewis and Selma Miller Concert Hall in the Duerksen Fine Arts Center in honor of their contribution of both time and means to community art and theater development. Upon Mrs. Miller's passing in 1972, the Lewis and Selma Miller fund was established through their estate to ensure the development and furtherance of the WSU College of Fine Arts and the Ulrich Museum.
