The Chapel Art Center presented selections from the permanent collection, highlighting American art. This exhibition, which was comprised of paintings, drawings, prints, furniture, decorative art and sculpture, exhibited works dating from the 18th century to the contemporary. It was an opportunity to view a wonderful variety of works rarely shown together, including recent acquisitions never exhibited at the Chapel Art Center.
