Friends of Art was formed in 2000 to provide
supplemental financial support to the
Department of Art and participate in building
the CSU art program to one of preeminence
in the Southeast.
Funding made possible
through Friends of Art is providing a margin
of excellence not possible through state
appropriations.
Numerous projects and initiatives are
feasible that would otherwise go unrealized,
including: scholarship support for art majors,
exhibits of nationally and internationally
recognized artists, supplemental funding
for
distinguished faculty, and assistance for
student
travel to major museums and art
sites
in
the U.S. and abroad.
