ART-SITES
The ACG Art Collection is primarily displayed in the following locations on campus: ACG Art Center, ACG Art Gallery, ACG Museum, ACG Treasury, and ACG Chapel. Works of Art in the ACG Collection that are not on display, are kept in the Art Store, which is housed at the ACG Art Center.

ACG ART CENTER The ACG Art Center is a complex of rooms designed for the fine arts. It includes the ACG Art Store, the ACG Art Gallery , a lecture hall, and studios for visual art in various forms.

ACG ART GALLERY The ACG Art Gallery is the principal venue for exhibitions on the entire campus and it is part of the ACG Art Center complex. The curator commits him/herself to setting up two major exhibitions per year. These exhibitions are designed to explore an idea or a theme inspired by artworks in the ACG Art Collection in conjunction with art on loan from other affiliate institutions in Greece or abroad. Illustrated exhibition catalogs under the auspices of ACG enrich the exhibition series.

ACG MUSEUM The ACG Museum, with its holdings of archival material (comprising largely of photographs) chronicles the origin and development of ACG in relation to the cultural, political and social progress of both modern Greece and the United States. The Mseum also includes the Alexander Kalovidouris Collection of anitquities.

ACG TREASURY The ACG Treasury is part of The Three Hierarchs chapel and holds ACG Art Collection's icons and ecclesiastical relics.

ACG CHAPEL The ACG Chapel of The Three Hierarchs, consecrated by His Beatitude Christodoulos in 2002, is built cross-in-square by architect Stefanos Nomikos, and graced with icons and frescoes by hagiographer Yannis Karouzos. Old bricks salvaged from demolished buildings are used for the construction of the building. Reused tiles are arranged in a wave-like pattern on all roof surfaces. Marble from Tinos is used for the interior floor, and marble from the Dionysos quarries for the screen, the Holy Altar, the iconostasis, and the exterior pillars. French oak is used for the Episcopal throne, lectern and candle-stand. The external doors are of cast iron. The windows are covered with colored glass lozenges.

Artworks from the ACG Art Collection are placed in various sites of the campus: the Foyer at Pierce Theater keeps the Presidential Portraits; Saint Francis of Assisi by Frances Rich adorns the hillside nearby the Chapel;The Cyclist by Vassiliki is placed at the atrium of Pierce College; and sculptures by Takis are displayed at various sites of the campus. The placing of artworks anywhere on campus is by no means permanent. The display is intended to rotate in order to give the opportunity to all artworks in ACG Art Collection to be seen in an wide variety of contexts.
