Historical Note
The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery was established in 1983 to present exhibits of art that enhance the cultural, academic and spiritual life of Holy Cross students, faculty and staff. The inaugural exhibition, Auguste Rodin, 1840 – 1917, opened in October 1983 and consisted of 31 of the artist’s bronze sculptures. Five of the exhibited sculptures were given to Holy Cross by the Cantor Foundation, and are now part of the permanent collection. The gallery presents student, faculty and traveling exhibits as well as those drawn from the permanent collection.
The first director of the Cantor Art Gallery was Ellen Lawrence who served in this role from 1983 to 2000. Robin Reisenfeld was named interim director in 2000. She was succeeded by Roger Hankins in 200l. Hankins was director until his retirement in 2019. The current director, Meredith Fluke, was appointed in 2019.
