Gallery Features Small College Student Artwork
The artwork of students from liberal arts colleges around Michigan are on display in the Michigan Small Colleges’ Art Exhibition hosted this year by the Flora Kirsch Beck Gallery at Alma College.

 

Alma College was born on Oct. 14, 1886. George F. Hunting was appointed the College’s first president and professor of moral and mental science. The College’s founding was made possible by Ammi W. Wright, a lumberman, businessman and civic leader who gave 30 acres of land and more than $300,000 to found and sustain the institution in its early years.
