The Center is proud to present the work of four senior studio art and art education majors: Angelo Celani, Hannah Devine, Connie DiFrancesco, and Madison Starliper. These emerging artists have found inspiration from a diversity of sources ranging from realms of fantasy to the natural world. Join us in this celebration of their work.
Royal Patronage: Selections from the King Ludwig I of Bavaria Gift
Fall 2020 - Ongoing
Fall 2020 - Ongoing
By 1852, Saint Vincent had begun to receive shipments of artwork, musical instruments, and books gifted to the nascent community through the auspices of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. Employed for their educative and elevative potential, these items were linked to the promulgation of German identity and culture in America. Royal Patronage: Selections from the King Ludwig I of Bavaria Gift traces an important link between America’s first Benedictine community and its royal Bavarian benefactor.

Roman Verostko and the Cloud of Unknowing:
From Ideas in Mind to Ideas in Code
Virtual Exhibition - Ongoing
Roman Verostko (born 1929) is an internationally recognized figure in the development of generative, algorithmic art. Unlike many of his contemporaries who came from engineering and computer science backgrounds, Verostko was a Benedictine monk at Saint Vincent Archabbey and a professionally-trained painter and scholar well-versed in the history of art, philosophy, logic, and theology before he started to work with electronic and digital media in the late 1960s.
Curated by Kerry Morgan and Melanie Pankau at Minneapolis College of Art and Design, the exhibition features over seventy original works from Saint Vincent’s holdings, encompassing Verostko’s early screen/video pieces, electronic machines, mural projects, artist books, and newer editioned prints. Rather than a strict chronological retrospective, the exhibition is organized around major themes that appear throughout Verostko’s work, such as his search for pure form, his interest in logic, his merging of eastern and western aesthetics and philosophy, and his understanding of his home “Pathway Studio" as a modern day electronic scriptorium.
