This exhibition is for everyone who has a favorite piece of art in the WCU Fine Art Museum collection—or would like to discover one. The Museum recently launched a new web portal for searching the Museum’s permanent collection online. The portal includes images and information about hundreds of works of art from the Museum’s 2,100-piece collection, which focuses on contemporary art of the Americas. Over the last several months, the public was invited to browse the new online database and cast a vote for the object they would most like to see on view. This exhibition is now open and will be on display through Friday, June 28, 2024. Visit arts.wcu.edu/collection portal to explore the WCU Fine Art Museum’s online collection portal for works in various mediums. The online collection portal was made possible through funding provided by the North Carolina Arts Council.
