Permanent Collection

Elizabeth de C. Wilson Museum

The Museum’s permanent collection is housed in the Wilson Museum, and includes an exhibit of nearly 800 pieces of 19th and 20th century works, including the world's largest collection of works by Luigi Lucioni.

Like many smaller institutions, the Southern Vermont Arts Center relies on the generosity of its supporters in order to build its permanent collection. We are fortunate in counting many such supporters among our members and friends, and each year we are pleased to add two or three fine works of art to the collection. The year 2007, however, was exceptional. Over the course of the year, the Arts Center received eight new pieces ranging from historic canvases by early member artists to the latest productions of contemporary painters and photographers.

George Kalinsky, Series of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers photographs, 1960's – 2001, gift of the artist
