Art in Public Spaces

The GVSU Art Gallery collects, manages, exhibits, and interprets the university's art collection to foster experiential learning and art engagement with the Grand Valley community. Interaction with art can inform social discourse, encourage civic dialogue, foster creative and critical thought, and provide avenues for personal reflection. Art on view in each GVSU building has been thoughtfully curated to reflect the programs and offices occupying those spaces. Selecting works of art for public view is a collaborative effort that fosters strengthened ties between departments.
