Policy 523: Acquisition of Works of Art to the College

Operational Policy
Policy Number: 523
Adopted: March 2011

The College shall maintain an Art Committee comprised of a representative from campus operations, a representative from the library, a minimum of one art faculty, a minimum of one faculty at large, a minimum of one classified staff member, and when possible, a student (recommended by the art committee) to serve for the academic year. The committee may add, from time to time, members for special projects, to serve for the duration of the project.  The committee and the College will strive to reflect the community it serves and establish procedures that represent the diverse interests of the College, and its membership reflects a wide range of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences.

Committee members will be responsible for evaluating the acquisition and care of art based upon the College’s ability to display and safeguard the work.

Committee members develop and maintain guidelines regarding the display and storage of art owned by the College, with the objective of exposing the artwork to a wide audience via display.
