This focus also capitalizes on the strengths of the collecting expertise of alumni, donors, and friends of kenyon college. Finally, the gallery collection focus presents opportunities for contemporary art to be commissioned or gifted by artists who may be affiliated with the programming of the gund gallery through residencies, exhibitions, visiting artist talks, and other programmatic formats.”
