The art department maintains a collection of over 300 works of art, mostly screenprints, etchings, lithographs, and other original prints by nationally and internationally recognized artists. The works are representative of a wide variety of art movements and styles.
The artists, such as Grant Wood, Georges Rouault, Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Nevelson and Richard Serra are among the most influential artists of the last hundred years. Consequently the collection is an excellent resource for study, and gallery exhibitions are often drawn from it.
