The story of Ade Bethune is an important chapter in the cultural history of our century. This woman has made unique contributions to the fields of sacred art & architecture and social justice as an artist, writer, and liturgical consultant. Her leadership covered over half a century of significant work, all flowing from her early association with Dorothy Day and the publication of her pictures in The Catholic Worker.
Materials in the Collection cover Ade Bethune's entire career from art school at the National Academy of Design and Cooper Union in New York in the 1930s to her final projects in the early years of the 21st century.
