The Montreat Summer Club provides opportunities for summer folks and year-round residents of the Swannanoa Valley to exchange greetings and get better acquainted. The programs will elaborate upon the interesting things our summer folks do while they are not in Montreat. More than forty-five drawings and paintings by Ben Long are installed at the Montreat College Library's Hamilton Gallery. These pieces were developed during the arduous process of creating his twenty-second fresco, The Return of the Prodigal, located in the Chapel of the Prodigal on the college campus. The fresco is sixteen feet wide by seventeen feet high, on a wall built to Long's specifications, and portrays the parable found in Luke Chapter 15.
