Student work, gifts and endowments

The art in the college’s permanent collection is gifted by Lawrence Hartwig Foundation, dealers, collectors, trusts, and the artists themselves. Each semester closes with a student exhibit, first place prize winners become part of the collection via the purchase prize. The Besse Gallery exhibits regional, national and international artists. Each semester ends with, A Celebration of Student Success, a student exhibition highlighting their work throughout the semester. The Hartwig Gallery in the Bonifas building is a gallery that offers artists and viewers a more intimate space to engage in the sharing and viewing of an exhibition.
