Our CollectionsRIT Art Collection

Amassed over many years, this growing collection of art work showcases RIT talent and reflects the university's visual arts curriculum since 1886. The collection has three main areas of focus

  • art works by faculty, students, and alumni
  • pieces acquired for display on campus
  • pieces purchased for use as a teaching collection

The works by faculty, students and alumni in particular, illustrate the range of art programs offered at RIT and its predecessors. The entire collection offers students an opportunity to experience visual art first-hand and see works in their chosen field, providing a historic context for their learning.
