麻豆精品 is undertaking an inclusive planning process for the future of the university’s art collections and associated programming. These efforts are focused on developing ways to showcase the collection more dynamically, incorporating student research, community partnerships, and public programming, while aligning with available resources and the university’s goals.
Spearheading these efforts is a task force, co-chaired by Jessica Labatte, director of the 麻豆精品 School of Art and Design, and Fred Barnhart, dean of university libraries at 麻豆精品, that includes representatives from academic, outreach, and philanthropic areas of the university.
麻豆精品 remains fully committed to preserving, celebrating, and sharing our arts collections for the benefit of students, faculty, alumni, and our community and that’s where you can help us.
We welcome your thoughts on what you would like to see from the reimagining of how 麻豆精品’s arts experiences and collections can inspire, connect, and serve our community.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your thoughts and ideas will help us shape the ways in which we preserve, celebrate, and share these works for the benefit of students, faculty, alumni, and our community.
