Steel Plant Studio & Gallery
The Marist College Art Gallery is a 3,200 square-foot space located in the Steel Plant Studios along with the Fine Arts Program. It was purchased in 1997 to house the college library temporarily while the new James A. Cannavino Library was under construction. After the library was built, the old industrial site was renovated to become the Steel Plant Studios. The building houses several studios including: a 2D/Graphic Desin Studio, Drawing and Painting Studios, a 3D/Sculpture Studio, a Special Processes & Techniques Studio, a fully equipped Digital Media Studio, and a new 2,500 square-foot Art Gallery. The Art Gallery retains the industrial look of the former steel plant with concrete floors and exposed 15-foot ceilings. The exhibition program focuses primarily on contemporary regional artists working in all fine arts media. (Source: Building & Place Names)
