This exhibition explores the question: what is an art collection for Holy Cross, what is its purpose, and how do we plan for its future?
Since its founding in the mid-19th century, the College of the Holy Cross has attracted gifts of art and precious objects to its campus. Given by alumni, faculty, and other friends of the College, these works are meant to support both the liberal arts ideas and curriculum for Holy Cross students past, present, and future. As we transition into a new space, the Cantor Art Gallery seizes the opportunity to study, contemplate, and prepare its collections; as well as to consider them in relationship to other collections on campus.
Admission to the gallery is free.
