The main exhibition gallery at Longwood College's permanent Center for the Visual Arts will be named for Roanoke native Barbara Bishop, who died in 1991.
Bishop, a 1960 graduate of the college, was a member of the Longwood faculty from 1965 to 1990. She chaired the art department there from 1970 to 1984.
Bishop conceived the idea of a visual arts center at Longwood in the early 1970s. The main gallery in the center's interim site in Farmville also has been named for Bishop.
