Join us for a special tour of Bellarmine Hall, one of Fairfield University’s loveliest and most historic buildings!
Built in 1921, the 44-room mansion, which commands a stunning view over Long Island Sound, was the home of Walter and Amelia Lashar. In 1942, it became the first building of the newly-founded Fairfield University, and was rechristened Bellarmine Hall in honor of the university’s patron saint, Robert Bellarmine. Since 1981, Bellarmine Hall has housed the office of the President, as well as other university departments.
The tour includes the history of the building and its connection to the university, as well as a privileged look at its remarkable architectural and decorative elements. Don’t miss this unique opportunity! The tour begins at 11 a.m. in the foyer of Bellarmine Hall.
Each event in our Art in Focus series offers an opportunity for an hour of close looking and informal discussion around a single work of art, led by Curator of Education Michelle DiMarzo. On Thursday, June 6th, we’ll be looking at this work of art from the exhibition Hildreth Meière: The Art of Commerce (April 18 – September 21, 2019).
Join us for the opportunity to engage deeply with this work of art in a relaxed atmosphere. Reserve your seat now!
Anna Kupik, Hildreth Meière’s great granddaughter, will be giving a talk titled, “Hildreth Meière: Ahead of Her Time, Navigates a Career in a Man’s World.” Anna Kupik will discuss the challenges Meière faced working as a woman supervising large teams of workmen in the early 20th century. The lecture will be followed by a wine and cheese reception, and the Bellarmine Hall Galleries will remain open until 7 p.m.
Hildreth Meière: The Art of Commerce will be on view in the Bellarmine Hall Gallery from April 18 – September 21, 2109.
