  • About the Chapel Art Center

    The Alva de Mars Megan Chapel Art Center is Saint Anselm College's gallery for the exhibition of fine art. Founded in 1967, this facility provides a gracious setting for special exhibitions and houses a permanent collection of artworks. It welcomes the campus and general public with exhibitions throughout the academic year.

    Formerly the college's chapel, the Chapel Art Center maintains a beautifully decorated vaulted ceiling with allegorical lunettes painted by Father Raphael Pfisterer, O.S.B. (1877-1942) 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.

  • The Arts are Alive!

    The Chapel Art Center has partnered with the Dana Center for the Humanities and the Fine Arts Department to promote that the arts are alive and thriving at Saint Anselm College. Get a sneak peek at what's upcoming and keep an eye out for more virtual and in-person collaborations.
