Atwood Art Collection
Atwood has had an ongoing program of acquiring art since it opened
its doors in the mid-1960's. Like most student centers, Atwood views art as an
integral part of its educational and aesthetic mission. More than 10,000 people
pass through Atwood daily, making it an ideal setting to share the works of many
talented artists.
How large is the collection?
Atwood proudly displays a collection of more than 160 permanent
artworks as well as several pieces on loan. Many of these artworks have been
purchased with budgeted Atwood dollars and many have been generously
donated.
Who decides what is in
the collection?
The Atwood Permanent Art Collection Committee is made up of art
faculty, students, staff, and community members who enjoy art. The committee's
goal is to purchase and accept donations from students, faculty, alumni, and
local artists. New members are always welcome on the committee.
