The regular study of original works of art is an invaluable component of a liberal arts education. The Sweet Briar College Art Collection and Galleries enrich the curriculum by providing an on-going opportunity for students and professors to examine and research significant paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, sculptures and other works of fine art.
More than 25 years ago, in the fall of 1984, Sweet Briar College renovated the 1906 former Refectory (now known as the Anne Gary Pannell Center) to house the school's art collection and art library, to provide an exhibition hall, and to provide offices and classrooms for the art history department. Pannell Gallery also functions as a venue for lectures, classes and other educational programs and public events. Art acquisitions and art collection-related programs and activities are supported in part by the College's Friends of Art.
This main gallery is supplemented by two satellite galleries, one located in the lobby of Benedict Hall and one adjacent to the theater and dance studios in Babcock Fine Arts Center. Babcock Gallery is used as a venue for temporary exhibitions featuring recent work by mid-career practicing professional artists, generally from the Mid-Atlantic region, in a variety of media. Benedict Gallery features a variety of community-based exhibitions, for example the work of gifted children from Amherst County schools, displays showcasing historic documents or artifacts, or the work of local artists.
