For more than 60 years, the College has maintained a public art gallery for the cultural edification of its students and the greater community; featuring both rotating and permanent collection exhibitions with several thousand visitors each year. On April 23, 2020, Saint Vincent will begin a new chapter in its long history of support for the arts with the dedication of a recently expanded exhibition space. Located inside the Dale P. Latimer Library, the galleries will continue to serve as a creative crossroads, featuring rotating exhibitions culled from its impressive permanent collection while also showcasing the work of emerging artists whose work investigates the issues and questions of our contemporary time. Building on the legacy initiated by Wimmer’s bold vision, Saint Vincent continues its commitment to fostering a culture of innovation, creativity, inquiry, and contemplation.
Join us April 23, 2020 for the opening of the new Verostko Center for the Arts! Explore the artistic heritage of Saint Vincent with new exhibitions and programming intended to ignite imaginations.

Formerly a Benedictine monk at Saint Vincent, Roman Verostko is a key figure in the development of generative, algorithmic art. 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. Verostko’s retrospective exhibition is organized around major themes that appear throughout Verostko’s work such as his search for an art of pure form, his interest in logic and language, his merging of Eastern and Western aesthetics and philosophy, and his understanding of his home “Pathway Studio” as a modern day electronic symposium. In addition, exhibitions featuring art and artifacts exploring Saint Vincent’s rich creative history will be on view. 14 HISTORY 15 HISTORY DINNER THEATRE HISTORY HISTORY at Saint Vincent College collects, preserves, interprets, and and College collects, preserves, interprets, Vincent Saint at Come and join us for the fifth season of our own historic take on dinner dinner take on historic the fifth own our for season us of join Come and The Foster and Muriel McCarl Coverlet Coverlet McCarl and Muriel The Foster Selections from the collection are permanently displayed at the Fred the Fred at displayed permanently the collectionSelections are from theater.

To many the Universe is a closed book of secrets never to be read. Almost four hundred years ago, an unknown court mathematician in Italy opened that book and laid the foundation for modern science. Galileo Galilei turned his telescope to the heavens to discover mountains and craters on the moon, four moons of Jupiter, and countless stars never before seen. Even more significant was his method of observation and mathematical analysis. He taught future scientists the way to discover the laws of nature.

Generative art, or art created with coding as a central characteristic, emerges as the focus of the McCarl Coverlet Gallery’s spring exhibit which focuses on computing technology in the early textile industry. The coverlets emerge as early examples of generative art using an autonomous system, or using an external system to which the artist gives partial or total control. An important highlight in the history of generative art is the invention of the Jacquard loom in 1801. The handloom itself featured a weaving attachment that introduced the concept of a stored “computer-like” program in the form of punched-cards. These automated cards allowed weavers to produce and replicate complex patterns in textiles quickly and efficiently. Jacquard’s invention revolutionized the weaving industry and punch-card technology paved the way for the invention of both the computer and later forms of generative and algorithmic art.

When Archabbot Boniface Wimmer founded Saint Vincent in 1846, he encouraged an appreciation of drama as a means of building self-confidence and character. That appreciation has become a tradition at Saint Vincent. The popularity and wide range of dramatic activities over the years have been evident in Saint Vincent Preparatory School productions, the annual Passion Play, operettas with Saint Xavier’s Academy, college plays such as A Man for All Seasons, audience-pleasing student musicals beginning with West Side Story and student drama organizations.
In 1969, the curtain rose for the first time on a unique dramatic adventure; the Saint Vincent Summer Theatre, founded by a Benedictine monk, Father Tom Devereux. The theatre has endured for more than half a century, and has offered scores of college students the unique opportunity to work with theatre professionals in all aspects of the theatre. Thousands of lives have been enhanced by Saint Vincent Theatre’s positive impact on the artistic life of the college and surrounding community. The Theatre employs members of the Actors’ Equity Association. Each performance is in the comfortable, air-conditioned Robert S. Carey Performing Arts Center where every seat has a great view!
The Summer Theatre is well-known for its cabaret, a special after-the- show reception on the terrace of the Robert S. Carey Center to which every theatre patron is invited. Hot dogs, popcorn and beverages are served by Saint Vincent students. Proceeds from the cabaret help sustain the reception. The Summer Theatre is also well-known for its annual Gala, a festive evening of gourmet food and theatre hosted by a committee of theatre supporters. Proceeds benefit the Summer Theatre.
In addition to the Saint Vincent Summer Theatre, during the school year, a group of College students known as the Saint Vincent Players, under the direction of Summer Theatre Producing Artistic Director Greggory Brandt, performs fall and spring shows. Greggory Brandt
