Marxhausen Gallery of Art
The Marxhausen Gallery of Art is an exhibition space for Concordia University. Due to the relatively isolated and rural location, the mission of the gallery is to promote visual, cultural experience by presenting a diverse, ambitious gallery program which consists of regional and nationally acclaimed art exhibitions, as well as, faculty and student shows. The gallery also houses the Koenig Collection, a permanent collection of prints and works on paper
by international artists.

The art department maintains a collection of over 300 works of art, mostly screenprints, etchings, lithographs, and other original prints by nationally and internationally recognized artists. The works are representative of a wide variety of art movements and styles.
The artists, such as Grant Wood, Georges Rouault, Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Nevelson and Richard Serra are among the most influential artists of the last hundred years. Consequently the collection is an excellent resource for study, and gallery exhibitions are often drawn from it.
