Collection Overview
Title: SMC Committees. Art Committee, 1987-2007
ID: SMC 9/SMC 9.5
Extent: 1.5 Linear Feet
Arrangement: This is arranged into series: chronological, artists and artists, and artists in residence.
Scope and Contents of the Materials
The art and artists series consists of subject files of artists or pieces of art associated with campus in some way. It is arranged alphabetically by artist, although a few significant items are filed by the title of the piece, rather than the artists. The other series are arranged chronologically. The chronological files provide good insight into the work of the committee through the years, and the Artists in Residence files document that program.
Collection Historical Note
In 1987, the college created the Art Committee to implement the goal of displaying high quality art in the public areas of the college. The committee was to review currently owned art and frame if warranted, manage the sale of inappropriate works, define public areas for display, including planning for each area, create a database of owned art, and explore additional funding sources. The committee answered to the VP for operations but was made up of faculty and staff from across campus. In addition to those areas, a major accomplishment of the committee was to create a policy for gifts of art that inserted the committee into the process as necessary. Later on, the committee instituted an Artists in Residence Program in which an artist would be given housing and studio space for the summer and in return the college would get a significant piece of art. A small budget allowed for the framing of certain items as well. In 2006-7 the committee reviewed the artists in residence program to better integrate the work with the curriculum.
