In 2006, the USU began an initiative to support and collect student artwork selecting from exhibitions hosted by the CSUN Department of Art. Since the start of this endeavor, more than one hundred works have been purchased and exhibited throughout the USU’s facilities. The collection communicates a variety of themes through a mixture of mediums including works on paper, photographs, paintings, sculpture, and ceramics. The collection engages, enriches, and educates the CSUN community allowing students, faculty, staff, and visitors to see the unique creative output and diversity among students.
