WFU Art Collections: The Student Union Collection of Contemporary Art
Wake Forest’s world-class contemporary art collection is on display throughout campus. Since the first New York buying trip in 1963, a small group of students, under the direction of an art department faculty member, have researched contemporary art and purchased artworks for the collection.
Mission of the Collection: The University Art Collection provides students with opportunities for direct engagement with original works of art, while cultivating an environment that creates dialogue, fosters creativity, and promotes interdisciplinary thinking.
