A generous gift from the Legler Benbough Foundation has allowed University Galleries to create an innovative student acquisitions program, usually embedded into the course syllabus of an art history class during the academic year. Students create acquisition proposals for works they feel University Galleries should purchase and add to the permanent collection. Much like in an established art museum, these proposals go before an “acquisitions committee,” comprised of both arts professionals and former students, who select the successful proposals. All works selected are ultimately purchased and added to the University Print Collection.
