The Collection
The Saint Joseph College Art Gallery was opened in 2001 to house the College's distinguished collection of fine art. The nucleus of this collection was donated to the College on the occasion of its fifth anniversary, in 1937, by the Reverend Andrew J. Kelly, and was augmented by a major bequest from the Reverend John J. Kelley in 1966. Since then, the collection has grown to over 2,000 objects with particular strength in American paintings of the early 20th century, including works by Thomas Hart Benton, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Milton Avery, and European and American prints from the 15th century to the present, including works by Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, George Bellows, and Childe Hassam.
