Season’s Greetings | Christmas-Themed Art from the Haggerty Museum of Art Collection

TUESDAY, DEC. 15 | 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. CT

Presented by

  • Christine Fleming, Manager of Community Engagement, Haggerty Museum of Art, Marquette University
  • Susan Longhenry, Director and Chief Curator, Haggerty Museum of Art, Marquette University
  • Lynne Shumow, Curator for Academic Engagement, Haggerty Museum of Art, Marquette University

Marquette University began to acquire works of art shortly after it was founded in 1881. These early collecting efforts laid the foundation for what would become, over a century later, the collection of the Haggerty Museum of Art. That collection now includes over 7,000 works of art created from the Renaissance period to the present. Every year, Marquette University's president chooses one of those works to feature on Marquette's Christmas card. During this special program, three Haggerty Museum of Art staff members will share and discuss a selection of those works -- including the painting chosen for the 2020 card!
