Art Works: Gifts from Dan ’69 and Nancy Schneider
November 14 – December 14, 2014
Reception and campus tour: Friday, November 14, 2014
Art speaks. Art questions. Art inspires. Art works. Over the past three decades alumnus Dan Schneider ’69 and his wife Nancy have generously contributed roughly 250 artworks to St. Olaf College. This exhibition brings together a selection of their gifts – some plucked from prominent places on campus, others never before shared publicly. Echoing the breadth of their collecting and donating interests, the exhibition features paintings, prints, ceramics, and sculptures. The exhibition integrates reflections from students, staff, faculty, and the collectors themselves as a way to examine the impact of visual art within the St. Olaf community
