Donors’ Impact on Academic Programs
HACC Foundation Donors Fund Creation of New Art Collection at HACC’s Rose Lehrman Art Gallery
HACC Foundation donors provided funding for the shipping and handling fees associated with receiving donated artwork to the College. The Rose Lehrman Art Gallery accepted artwork by the artists Mary Francis Judge, Ken Rush and Vincent Baldassano. These artists and collectors value seeing their artwork as part of teaching collections like HACC. These artists were willing to donate artwork to the gallery’s Permanent Art Collection for free. The College was responsible for the associated shipping and handling costs. The costs included crate costs, the packaging of the artwork and the shipping fees associated with the delivery of artwork to HACC’s campuses. These paintings will be displayed on multiple campuses and used by our faculty and students as teaching tools.
The purpose of the Permanent Art Collection is to encourage, develop and maintain a collection to benefit the College community. Additionally, the art collection will increase artistic appreciation and enjoyment of the College surroundings by members of the College community. It also expands interests and understanding across a broad range of cultural and social backgrounds; promotes aesthetic and cultural development opportunities for students; and integrates art into the daily living environment of the College.
