While at first glance Regis' collec tion of statues, paintings and the like may seem haphazardly thrown togeth er on campus, there is a method to their placement and existence. Knowing the stories behind the acquisition of sever al pieces helps one draw connections between these pieces of art and the Regis community and in turn gives them more meaning. Art in Classrooms and Buildings The diverse collection of art in classrooms, hallways and offices is a result of the collaborative efforts of the President's office, the office of mission, University ministry and the art depart ment. Fr. Sheeran has expressed the importance of acquiring images that resonate with the community on cam pus. Thus, Regis is home to pieces of art that represent different cultures, beliefs and values. Main hall houses several different "theme" rooms for this purpose: one for Islamic art, Tibetan/Buddhist art, Jewish art, American Indian art, Black Christian art and traditional renaissance/baroque images. The Fortune Family Foundation gave a large monetary gift to Regis that made a lot of the artwork in Loyola hall and Main hall possible. Bill Fortune is an alumni and former trustee of the University. "As more donations come in we try to make acquisitions based on our commitment to representing the James Joyce statue diversity on campus," said Ken Phillips, The statue of James Joyce stands Photos by Graham Hunt associate university minister and a on the north side of the Coors Life Top: Statue of Rev.
