Policies & Procedures

Policy: 3401

The Board of Trustees strives to provide an art collection that is a visual resource and an aesthetic enhancement to the Rowan College of South Jersey (“College”) environment providing inspiration and access to art experiences for students and the community.

To achieve this goal, the Board has established the following criteria in accepting gifts of artwork (the College will no longer purchase works of art):

• Artwork acquired and maintained within the collection must reflect the highest aesthetic standards.

• Artwork accepted into the collection must be able to be permanently exhibited in an appropriate site and be able to be maintained for public display.

• The College collection must be representative and reflective of the of artists and artistic styles from the surrounding community.

• The College collection must emphasize local artists, styles, and movements, and seek to include the work of artists nationally and internationally so that local community demographics may be seen within a global context.

• Artwork acquired and maintained within the collection must be appropriate in scale, media and context with its intended display location, and be relevant within the mission of the College and its core values.

The President will have administrative procedures developed for the management of the Art Collection.
