Collection Spotlights

The University of Denver Art Collections has over 8,000 objects. The Collection Spotlight Blog is one of the many ways students engage with art in our collection. Often focusing on recent acquisitions, objects on display across campus, or something interesting they found when exploring the Hampden Center, undergraduate and graduate students have the opportunity to write anything about any object in the collection. Emphasizing creative inquiry, the Collection Spotlights deepen our understanding of the objects in our collection and allow the versatility of the UAC to shine!
