The Dittmar Memorial Gallery opened in 1972 with the intention of utilizing the visual arts as a vehicle for transmitting culture. The gallery's purpose is dedicated to presenting the works of emerging, ethnic minority and women artists, as well as artwork by Northwestern University undergraduate and graduate art students. Conte's early artwork was representational, naturalistic and highly detailed. In time, Conte became interested in Cubism and the interpretation of Cubism. Later, his artistic works became more imaginative and less concerned with subject matter and detail.
