All three facets of UGA’s mission — teaching,
research and service — come into play at the Georgia
Museum of Art, which also serves as Georgia’s state museum
of art. With 97 percent of its holdings stored instead of exhibited,
the Georgia Museum of Art is embarking on a $20 million project
to construct a sparkling new wing.
The conceptual plan, known
as Phase II, will add 30,000 square feet of galleries, storage
and preparation space. Phase II includes nine new galleries
and a revitalized main entrance that opens to a plaza overlooking
East Campus. The existing lobby will be expanded to connect
the new wing and the current building, forming a gathering
space for 400 people and wrapping around a sculpture garden
(shown here).
Through the Georgia Museum of Art, and other
university units such as the State Botanical Garden, UGA serves
the state of Georgia in every dimension of its activities,
including agribusiness and economic development.
With attendance
more than tripling at the Georgia Museum of Art in the past
10 years, its director, Bill Eiland, sees strengthening programs
that serve the state and beyond as an opportunity to engage
a series of communities with broad and diverse programming.
“By
charter, the collections of the Georgia Museum of Art belong
to the people of the state of Georgia,” Eiland said. “Of
that fact, we at the museum are most proud. Yet, in order to
forge ahead, we depend on the goodwill and generosity of our
friends and supporters. They are our lifeblood, our champions
and our sustainers.” |
