Through exhibitions and other displays of artworks and objects, as well as sponsoring activities that engage the Carleton community, the Robert C. Larson ’56 Art in the Library Program enables and fosters aesthetic appreciation, intellectual curiosity, and interdisciplinary connections.
Acknowledging a lifetime commitment to education and the arts, this program is named in honor of former trustee Robert “Bob” C. Larson ’56. Elected as a trustee in 1993, Mr. Larson played a pivotal role in setting Carleton’s direction and maintaining the school’s commitment to excellence. Carleton is grateful for the leadership and support of this remarkable alumnus, donor, volunteer and friend.

Larson ’56 Art in the Library Program, studied art history at Haverford College and architecture at the University of Minnesota, and has worked in a wide range of galleries, museums, design studios, non-profit organizations and institutions of higher education. She welcomes opportunities to collaborate with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other community members on library exhibitions.
