Mount Allison is a highly respected small undergraduate institution. With 11 full and part-time faculty

and technical staff and approximately 125 students, the Department of Fine Arts offers a BFA and BA

important support to the Department on campus is the Owens Art Gallery, with a program of

contemporary and historical exhibitions and visiting artists’ presentations.
