Shields Art LocationShields Center for Visual Arts

The Shields Center for Visual Arts serves Marywood's art students. It has lab space for computer graphics, art history, and art therapy. On the first floor is the Mahady Gallery which has changing exhibits on a monthly basis. All senior art students are required to have an exhibit in the Mahady Gallery. The Maslow Collection, a study-gallery of contemporary art developed by Marilyn and Richard Maslow and on loan to Marywood, is also housed on the first floor. Upstairs is the Suraci Gallery which houses Marywood's permanent collection of art along with a display of changing exhibits.

The Shrine of Saint Joseph, built in 1936, is located in front of the mirrored windows of the Visual Arts Center. Students commonly find peace, shelter, and a few quiet moments on the steps of this beautiful shrine.
