Carson Hall
CarsonHall, the Main Building houses classrooms, administrative and faculty offices, art, photography, theatre, and dance studios, new state-of-the-art science labs, the Academic and Administrative computer centers, a chapel, a dining room and a formal meeting and reception room.
Hewitt Gallery of Art
The Hewitt Gallery of Art, located in the main esplanade and adjacent black and white galleries in the Carson Hall and Nugent Hall Buildings, is a highly recognized showcase gallery that offers both well-known and emerging artists an opportunity for exposure within the art world and the MMC community. Works reflecting a wide range of concerns, styles and media, such as painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, video, and multimedia installations are exhibited on a regular basis throughout the year. The Gallery allows our students the opportunity to engage in an ongoing dialogue with contemporary art and artists, as many of the exhibitors are guest presenters in our art department classes in both studio and art history. Hundreds of artists, critics, collectors, and curators visit the Gallery each year, and the visibility of innovative and challenging works of art throughout the College plays an important role in expanding the creative horizons of MMC students. Through internships and curatorial studies, students have the opportunity to participate directly in a professional gallery environment.
