Collection
Art + UNSW: collecting from a university’s perspective
The purpose of the Collection is to develop and maintain a distinctively university art collection, to enhance the environment for students, staff and visitors and to expose this audience to an aspect of Australia’s culture with which they may not be familiar.
Five principle goals derive from this mission:
1.1 To develop and maintain the Collection as a resource of national significance;
1.2 To ensure the preservation and safe keeping of the Collection;
1.3 To broaden the knowledge and appreciation of the Collection through programmes of documentation, interpretation and display;
1.4 To maximise accessibility to the Collection
1.5 To heighten the public profile of the Collection leading to greater community awareness, involvement and support.
Paintings, barks, sculpture, prints, drawings, and ceramics make up the UNSW Art Collection and are displayed throughout the campuses in secure public spaces as well as in the Libraries and main offices of the University Administration, Faculties and Schools.
All enquiries regarding the collection may be directed to the Art Curator at the following:
