St. Ambrose University

Catich Gallery

 

Welcome to the Catich Gallery, located in the Galvin Fine Arts Center.

The Catich Gallery was formed in 1985 as a memorial gallery for the Rev. Edward M. Catich, founder of the St. Ambrose College art department in 1939 and world-renowned calligrapher, stone incisor, and artist.

In 2002, the gallery was re-configured to host contemporary art exhibits featuring the work of regional and national artists as well as faculty and seniors graduating with honors.

There are seven exhibits each academic year at the Catich Gallery: four feature regional and nationally known artists; two highlight graduating seniors from the Fine Arts, Graphic Design and Book Arts departments; and one honors Father Catich drawing from the university's vast collection of his work.
