University of Southern Indiana

Art Collection Committee

Purpose Statement
The purpose of the University of Southern Indiana Art Collection is to promote and advance knowledge of visual art for members of the University community and the surrounding region.

Mission Statement
The mission of the University of Southern Indiana Art Collection is to provide educational and aesthetic experiences for members of the University community and the surrounding region through the exhibition, research, and preservation of original works of art.

Collection Scope 
The University Art Collection accepts objects of aesthetic expression such as paintings, drawings, prints, fine art photography and sculpture as well as fine craft items such as ceramics, textile, glass, and metal works through the University of Southern Indiana Foundation or purchase through funds donated for the purpose of enhancing the collection.

Acquisitions
The University Foundation will facilitate gifts or bequests of artwork to the University through the approval and acquisition process of the Art Collection Committee. Donors wishing to further the objectives of the University Art Collection through cash gifts will be encouraged to make such gifts through the University Foundation.

Collections Care
Future additions to the University Art Collection will be based upon the ability of the University, under the direction of the University Art Collection Committee, to properly maintain and exhibit, when appropriate, the works of art, given limited exhibition and storage space.  To maintain the integrity of the Collection and its educational mission, all additions to the Collection are to be restricted to works of high aesthetic merit.
