Housed in the former Refectory (1906) the Anne Gary Pannell Center houses Sweet Briar's art collection of more than 3,700 objects from a variety of countries, historical periods and in a variety of media.
The Pannel Center is supplemented by two satellite galleries, one located in the lobby of Benedict Hall and one in Babcock Fine Arts Center. Babcock Gallery is used as a venue for temporary exhibitions featuring recent work by mid-career practicing professional artists, generally from the Mid-Atlantic region.
