Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries, Pullman, WA.
Biography/History
In 1974, the state of Washington’s legislature authorized an Art in Public Places (AIPP) program, which required that ½ of 1% of building construction funds had to go to art. To deal with selecting and approving this art on campus, in 1975 Washington State University created a Building Arts Committee, which was comprised of faculty, staff, and students. The name was changed to Campus Arts Committee sometime between 1979 and 1988.
Scope and Content
The collection contains contracts, correspondence, and background information relating to specific arts projects under the purview of the Campus Arts Committee from about 1999-2004. Additionally, the collection contains a small amount of materials relating to the daily operations of the committee, and documents relating to the development of WSU’s Museum of Art.
Arrangement
The materials are arranged in two small informal series, within which materials are arranged alphabetically by subject or name. The first series deals with general campus and committee projects and organizations; the second series deals with specific artists and art projects.
