Art in the Libraries

Art in the Libraries capitalizes on the natural link that ties art and libraries together—being incubators for ideas that stimulate conversation, inquiry, discovery, and reflection.

Utilizing the distinct spaces for gathering and learning that libraries offer, Art in the Libraries makes WVU Libraries a vibrant hub of local and University art. By enriching connections across disciplines, Art in the Libraries develops exhibits and related programming to build bridges between WVU Libraries’ collections, services, and new ways of seeing, learning, and understanding. All while highlighting the creative endeavors and scholarship of WVU faculty, staff, and students.
