Welcome to the Oklahoma State University Museum of Art!
OSU has been collecting art since the 1930s, but only in the last two years have we begun serious planning for a university art museum. Building an art museum is an unusual event for any university. Choosing to do so in this historical moment is a vital sign of OSU’s commitment to a well-rounded liberal arts education and to hands-on learning. The incredible support we have received from alumni and friends makes it clear that this commitment to the arts is not just wise, but long overdue.
At the moment, our primary exhibition space is the Gardiner Gallery, in the Bartlett Center for the Visual Arts. As you may know, we are in the process of renovating the historic Postal Plaza building in downtown Stillwater, which will become a state-of-the-art venue for exhibitions, collections storage, research and teaching. As our facilities grow, so do our collections: in 2011 alone, we received gifts of over 500 works of art. These gifts enhance our ability to teach art history, studio art, graphic and industrial design, cultural history, and many other subjects directly from objects.
Until the Postal Plaza's transformation is complete, the easiest way to explore our collection is on this website, and our art collection blog, which is updated weekly. But soon, thanks to a dedicated staff (who you can also meet here!), you’ll be able to see it in person, just as our students do. I hope you will join us on this incredible journey.
