“Description of art collection - the gund gallery prioritizes modern and contemporary art for its gallery collection, which is separate from kenyon college's art collection. A collection focus on modern and contemporary art presents an opportunity for the gund gallery to assist kenyon college in uniquely positioning itself as a top-tier liberal arts college in the united states. 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.”
