About the WUD Art Committee
The WUD Art Committee is a student-run committee dedicated to showcasing the visual arts. The committee selects, installs, and accessibly presents local, national, and international contemporary artwork in the Memorial Union and Union South gallery spaces. The committee collaborates with other organizations to create ancillary programming that recontextualizes standard approaches to the visual arts.
