Established in 1981 on the recommendation of Chancellor Pye's Advisory Committee on the Arts, the Institute aims to integrate the arts into the educational process, particularly at the undergraduate level, and to promote cooperation between the various disciplines. English professor James Applewhite was the first director.
Collection contains mostly printed matter, including newsletters, flyers, clippings, handbooks, posters, calendars and similar material; a few memoranda. Includes the Inaugural Convention booklet for the Louis Sudler Prize of the Arts (1983), and an exhibit catalog, “The Art of India and Pakistan” (1985, cataloged) and an educational packet from the same exhibit. Sample events from collection include Winterfest of Contemporary Arts (Jan. 1985), and posters for “Kashmir and Rajasthan” (tour exhibition of photographs by Raghubir Singh, 1985) and Danny Richmond Jazz Quintet concert (1984). The collection was started in 1981 and is ongoing.
