About the Collection
The Indiana State University Permanent Art Collection is a treasure trove of artistic heritage housed within the Special Collections Department of Cunningham Memorial Library. Established in the 1960s, the collection has grown to encompass approximately 4,000 works of art.
The collection is particularly renowned for its significant holdings of Works Progress Administration (WPA) art from the 1930s and 40s, including murals and prints that document the American experience during the Great Depression. Additionally, the university holds one of the largest public collections of Andy Warhol works in the Midwest, featuring prints from his iconic series.
Donations
The collection continues to grow through generous donations from alumni, faculty, and friends of the university. If you are interested in donating to the PAC, please contact Special Collections.
