Faculty and Staff Learning Resources


The GVSU art gallery presents events, activities, and resources related to exhibitions, art on public view, and the permanent collection each semester to support faculty and engage students and community members. We also collaborate with departments and individual faculty to develop additional opportunities. And we host tours and visit classes throughout the year. Art Gallery User Experience and Learning Manager, Amanda Rainey, is available to support and collaborate with faculty and staff across the University. Each semester we create learning resources and experiential opportunities related to exhibitions and the collection.

Exhibition Resources


A list of exhibition-related books, articles, and other media available from the GVSU Libraries in a variety of formats including print and digital.

Art Collection Resources

Browse by Medium
The collection includes a wide range of mediums. We've highlighted artwork in the collection from four major categories: photography, works on paper, sculpture, and paintings. These categories are then broken down even further by both the the raw materials with which the artwork was made and the history of the art form.
