Bates College Museum of Art itself maintains The Marsden Hartley Memorial Collection and notes on its website. "Building on the notion of collecting art "from Maine" the Museum has consistently built a collection of many artists associated with Maine, from Marsden Hartley and Carl Sprinchorn to Neil Welliver, William Manning and Jocelyn Lee. Like most college museums, Bates also has collected an eclectic variation of objects relevant to a liberal arts college. Many of these works of art were donated by Bates alumnae or members of the Lewiston-Auburn community. The collection concentrates on a broad range of works on paper: Old Master prints; 19-20^th century European works by artists such as Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, Pablo Ruiz Picasso, and George Roualt; and 20^th century American works by Mary Cassatt, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, John Sloan, George Bellows; contemporary works on paper by Anne Harris, Charlie Hewitt, and Robert Indiana (the entire Elegy series), Alison Saar; and a growing collection of contemporary photography.

The Bates College Museum of Art is located at 75 Russell Street in Lewiston, Maine and is open Tues-Sat 10 am - 5 pm. For information, call 207-786-6158 or email museum@bates.edu
