The teaching of art at Mount Allison University can be traced back to the opening of the Women's Academy in 1854. It has been an important part of the curriculum since that time. In 1941 Mount Allison was the first university in Canada to give a B.F.A. degree in the visual arts. Much of the Department's history was, and is, directly related to the Owens Art Gallery. Until 1965, when the Department moved to its own quarters in the Gairdner Fine Arts Building, the department was housed in the gallery. Since that time the gallery has been extensively remodelled into one of the largest in the Maritimes, serving both the university and community. We enjoy one of the best student/staff ratios of any art department in the country. The department not only occupies its own building but has excellent facilities in other parts of the campus. We are proud of our tradition but prouder still of our ability to keep up with the changing needs of our students.
