{"exhibit":{"id":7,"title":"New Arrivals: Collecting Contemporary Art at the University of Maryland","description":"

September 21\u2013December 18, 2015<\/span><\/h3>\n

During the 2014\u20132015 academic year, seven students participated in the Contemporary Art Purchasing Program (CAPP). Now entering its tenth year, this program puts the process of collecting art for our public collection into the hands of students. The student committee, selected through a competitive application process, spends a year learning about art markets and researching artworks; visiting galleries and artists\u2019 studios in Baltimore, DC, and New York; managing a purchase budget; and finally presenting their selections to an Advisory Board comprised of arts leaders in our region.<\/p>\n

This exhibition debuts these most recent acquisitions as they enter the university\u2019s permanent collections. After the exhibition closes, the artworks will remain on view in the study spaces, lounges, and corridors of the Adele H. Stamp Student Union\u2014Center for Campus Life for the daily study and enjoyment of students, staff, faculty, and visitors.<\/p>\n
