A Closer Look: Small Works from the Collection of Mary Margaret Stewart

May 2023 - June 2024

Exhibit at Musselman Library

Stair Tower Gallery

The art in the Stair Tower Gallery is from the Mary Margaret Stewart collection at Gettysburg College.  These are smaller works by regional artists and pieces Stewart collected during her travels.

A beloved member of the Gettysburg College English faculty from 1959-1996, Mary Margaret Stewart passed away in 2021, leaving her extensive art collection to the College.

The exhibit features delicate etchings such as this "Road Through the Fields" by Anne H. Finucane from 2010:
