Envision
a Museum that bridges University and community, art and education,
generations and cultures….
Almost
50 years ago, the cornerstone was laid for the university's art
center in the A. Hays Town Building. In 2004, we opened the beautiful
new museum adjacent to the original structure, the Paul and Lulu
Hilliard University Art Museum. Over the past seven years we have
established a nationally recognized institution with exhibitions
and programs second to none in the American south.
A
bountiful number of new works of art to the museum’s permanent
collection have been added and exhibitions organized by the museum
are traveling from coast to coast. Our achievements are now recognized
internationally and our network of partners, both globally and
locally, continues to grow.
Now,
the University embarks on a 3 million dollar fund raising campaign
— called the Louisiana Vision. Programmatically and conceptually,
we will “re-vision the museum,” creating a new kind
of university art museum for Louisiana and for the nation, one
that unites community and scholarly interests in fresh, compelling
ways and enhances community life through the visual arts.
$3
million will help assure the Museum’s long-term financial
well-being and take your Museum to a new level of achievement,
securing its place as one of the great university art museums
in the country.
To
play a role at this transformative time for the Museum and for
the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, please e-mail louisianavision@louisiana.edu
or call me at (337) 482-1369 and we will discuss ways you can
help.
Envision
the difference your gift can make.
