Morgan Community College

Art Selection Team

CP 2-34

 

Purpose

In order to encourage appreciation and understanding of art (painting, photography, sculpture, etc.) Morgan Community College will purchase and display works of art.  Suitable donations will also be accepted.

 

Function

  1. To annually review the current collection and recommend needs which will enhance the current collection.

  2. Recommend to the President an annual budget request for the purchase of one or more pieces during the following year.  Funds will be approved/disapproved as part of the annual budget process.

  3. Establish the criteria for the type of piece(s) to be purchased and approve of the selection of the piece(s).

  4. Review and approve/disapprove any works someone wishes to donate.

  5. Designate the location for purchased and donated pieces.

  6. The team will be responsible for the pieces in public areas of the colleges (halls, LRC, Student Center foyer and hall, Founders Room, exterior spaces, and other areas not considered to be an individual's office.)

  7. College purchased art will not be displayed in any individual's office.  Open office areas may include college or private pieces.  Any pieces must meet acceptable college criteria.

Selection of Pieces

Priority will be given to pieces which:

  1. are works of artists within the college's service area, or

  2. pieces which reflect the past or present lifestyle or nature of Eastern Colorado.  Pieces, which do not meet either of these criteria, may be selected based upon their general cultural or educational value.

Pieces to be selected must be approved by the Art Selection Committee.
