The Alva de Mars Megan Chapel Art Center is our gallery for the exhibition of fine art. Founded in 1967, this facility provides a gracious setting for special exhibitions and it also houses a small permanent collection. It welcomes the campus and general public with exhibitions throughout the academic year.
Formerly the college's chapel, the Chapel Art Center has maintained a beautifully decorated vaulted ceiling with allegorical lunettes and magnificent stained glass windows. Its uniquely serene ambiance and rich historical significance make for the perfect cultural setting. As a center for the promotion of the fine arts, exhibitions coincide with lectures, tours, concerts, and recitals.
