The List Gallery looks for artists whose work, no matter what the medium, reflects serious underlying thought. The late British painter Leland Bell was recently given a rare overview here, and other exhibits have focused on noted ceramic artist Robert Turner, painter Sarah McEneaney, and “tree artist” Patrick Dougherty.
A small inner room displays art from Swarthmore’s collection, including paintings by Benjamin West and Robert Henri. After the annual alumni art show in June, the gallery usually closes for the summer.
