Art at the College

The College is fortunate to have beautiful art throughout its campus to inspire its community. This art includes paintings and even tapestries in buildings that are themselves works of art with elaborate architectural details. In addition, there are sculptures both inside the buildings as well as on the grounds. 

If you have a chance, explore the campus and all the art has to offer.

Otherwise, enjoy the video made in the spring of 2022 by Sarah Brokke Erickson and Heidi Johnson showcasing the Art in Tower Hall (33 min. long).

Two featured artists in the video include Sister Constantina and Sister Mary Charles. Below are images on these two Sisters and their art at the College. To navigate the slide shows below, click on the arrows to the left and right.
