A bit of history about the collection: through a generous fund from TRU each year select artworks by graduating visual arts students are purchased for the collection. There are currently around 300 works in the collection, with 140 installed throughout the public spaces on campus. This exhibition represents a selection from the archived pieces. The entire collection will soon be on a website showing those works installed in various places on campus and artworks available to choose from. Length of time for borrowing from the collection can be anywhere from two years up to 8.
If you have any other questions about the works in the collection do not hesitate to contact Terryl Atkins tatkins@tru.ca.
