About Us
The Mary Anderson Center was founded in 1989 by the Mount St. Francis Friary to provide time and space for artists to concentrate and work. The name and inspiration for the Center came from 19th century stage actress Mary Anderson, who originally owned the 400 acres and donated the land to the Friars to conserve the meadows, woods and lake. |

"Time at the Mary Anderson Center made me
remember that I really love making art. There was a time to enjoy the process
of making drawings, to turn the art critic voice off, or at least to a lower
volume. I know I will carry home some of the calm from this time and
place." |
