Becker Gallery & Permanent Art Collection

Created in 2007, the Becker Gallery honors the tireless support that John and Marian Becker gave to the library.  John Becker served as library director for 32 years (1954-1985), during which time the library transitioned from Towers Hall to the Courtright Memorial Library on Main Street.

Courtright Memorial Library provides space to display and exhibit art and other works of interest. Materials to be exhibited will be selected based on any of the following criteria:
1) promotes the library and its collection
2) meets the curricular needs of Otterbein University
3) contributes to ongoing campus events
4) provides information about an individual, group, or theme that would be of interest to the Otterbein community
