As an integral part of The College of Wooster, the primary mission of The College of Wooster Art Museum is to support and enhance the College’s goals of teaching, research, and service through exhibitions, scholarship, collection preservation, and public engagement.
Artists play a crucial role in all aspects of culture and society, and by providing direct experiences with original works of art, the museum program encourages the development of critical thinking and visual literacy by actively connecting art to all kinds of human experiences within a social and historical context.
Core goals include promoting campus-wide collaborations and interdisciplinary dialogue, and acting as a catalyst for creative engagement between the College and regional and national audiences.
