“The agnes scott college permanent collection is a living, eclectic gathering of artwork that encompasses a broad range of history, media and attitudes. Complementing the permanent collection is the dynamic programming of the dalton gallery, which organizes temporary exhibitions designed to promote an understanding of the arts. It is located at the heart of the dana fine arts building, a structure built in 1965 and designed by john portman, which houses the art history and studio art department. It also houses the theatre department. In support of the mission of the college, the focus of new acquisitions is largely but not exclusively works by women artists on paper. Artwork is selected and donations accepted with consideration to how they will benefit the campus learning environment. The collection is actively used within the arts curriculum and across disciplines. The art department offers three undergraduate majors, including studio art and art history, to students. In addition, students write visual analyses of works and five tours to the public. Informative wall text is researched and written by students under the guidance of faculty. Works by agnes scott students are embraced into the overall display, including a vibrant body of self portrait woodblock prints that are sited in dorms and public buildings. Furthermore, along with a student show, the gallery presents two exhibits a year which include a roster of local, national, and international professional artists and are organized around an inclusive theme that engages contemporary issues, focusing not only on the world of art but also on the larger global conversation. Having such a dynamic teaching collection borne from a mission of education enriches the learning environment and connects the viewer in a timeless dialogue.”
