New to Us: A Selection of Recent Acquisitions to the UC Art Collection

Reception: Thursday, April 10th, 5-7pm. Free.

The DAAP Galleries are pleased to present a selection of recently donated works to the University of Cincinnati Art Collection. Many of these donors have close ties to the university, having attended as students, taught as faculty, or both.

In 2020, the UC Art Collection, Galleries, and Museum Studies were unified under the UCAC to utilize the collection for teaching, research, and immersive learning through co-op positions. This initiative has resulted in the production of four exhibitions, three research projects, and the emersion of students in the UCAC and DAAP Galleries’ operations. In result of these efforts a multi college authored book about the UCAC will be released early fall of 2025.

Recent initiatives to expand the collection’s application have led to new acquisition efforts building upon the already formidable holdings. This exhibition highlights a few recent donations for public enjoyment, and we deeply thank the artists and collectors for their generous support for the UC Art Collection.

Special Thanks To:: Dr. Allen Bernard, Denise Burge, Jim Dicke, Gary Gaffney, Joe Girandola, Peter Huttinger, Meighen Jackson, Cynthia Lockhart, The Martin Family, Dr. Paul E. Potter, Abby & David Schwartz, Jim Sims, & the Academy in Exile, T.U. Dortmund
