SUB Art Collection

The Student Union Permanent Art Collection was established to introduce students, faculty, staff and community members to a wide range of artwork from multiple traditions and periods in art history. Encompassing work from various artists with unique backgrounds and cultures, and employing numerous media, the collection creates a diverse mixture of style, content and subject matter. Read more about these collections.

Our mission is to create a sense of home for students to study, to meet friends, to make connections, and we believe that art should be an integral part of that shared experience. So we have made available several collections–through commissions, through generous gifts–in the Student Union Building.

We do this through several avenues–commissioning work, buying work, and accepting gifts of work.

When you purchase work from the Student Union Fine Art Gallery or the Trueblood Pop Up Gallery, you support the fund to buy new art for the Student Union. Artists agree to a 40% commission; this commission is directed to a Foundational account that serves as a savings account from which we can purchase works of art.

If you would like to add to the student experience at the Student Union Building through a gift of artwork from your own collection, please contact Fonda Portales, University Art Curator and Collections Manager, at fondaportales@boisestate.edu.
