About the Committee

The Art on Campus Advisory Committee was revived in 2021 to serve in an advisory capacity to the Campus Facilities Committee. This advisory committee includes members from the faculty and student groups, as well as from Creative Arts, Community Education and College Operations.

Mission Statement

The Art on Campus Committee advises the campus community on the needs in support of existing artwork and offers proposals for future artwork on campus. The committee is also responsible for coordinating the refreshment of student artwork and displays campuswide. Embedded in this mission is a passion for accessibility to art and equity in presentation, as well as our commitment to inclusion by providing moments of access to art throughout our community.
