Permanent Collection

In 1962 the University began to assemble a collection of art works to be used for teaching purposes and for presentation to the community. When the Fine Arts Center was completed in 1975 the Collection was placed under the care and management of the University Gallery.

The Collection focuses on works on paper - drawings, prints, and photographs - primarily from the second half of the 20th century and comprises approximately 2,600 objects. The University Gallery is currently involved in a Five College Museums/Historic Deerfield computerization project which will integrate the collections of the area's museums making their respective holdings accessible for purposes of study and research.

Realizing the significance of the Collection but not having a space permanently designated for its exhibition, the Gallery makes certain that portions of the Collection are presented on a frequent basis.
