SLU Art Gallery Exhibition Is Tribute To Sullivans

CANTON - Through June 2, the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence University will host works in a variety of media by students, faculty and alumni in honor of President Daniel F. Sullivan and Ann H. Sullivan, titled "Twelve Years: The Finest of Fine Arts, 1996-2009."

A reception for graduating seniors and families will be held in gallery during Commencement weekend to highlight the exhibition, which continues through Alumni Reunion Weekend.

The Sullivans will retire from the University, effective June 30.

Gallery Director Catherine Tedford said, "Through new construction and renovations of art studios, performance halls, rehearsal rooms and the Newell Center for Arts Technology, as well as sustained support for student fellowships in the arts, President Sullivan's commitment to enhancing the arts curriculum at St. Lawrence marks the importance of creativity in a liberal arts education."

The exhibition also includes works of art donated by alumni to the University's Permanent Collection, pieces that are utilized regularly in courses from departments and programs across campus to enhance teaching and research. The Collection, numbering over 7,000 art objects and artifacts, is defined in large part thanks to the enthusiastic support of alumni through the years.

For information or to arrange individual or group tours, contact the gallery at 315-229-5174.
