Michael Eble, Curator of Exhibitions, Events, and Engagement for the College of the the Arts recently put together a Geaux Forward project to establish an Art Lending Library and Collection for the UL Lafayette campus. Eble and his team have a mission to beautify office spaces, lobbies, and private areas on campus by lending out original artwork. Faculty, Staff, and Students will have the rare opportunity to borrow original works of art during each academic semester, free of charge. The collection will feature a changing selection of purchased and donated artworks, with a focus on work from faculty, staff, alumni and current art students. The Art Lending Library and Collection will include paintings, drawings, ceramics, prints, sculptures and photographs. Art works can be checked out for each academic semester or for the year, allowing campus members to continue to change and rotate new artwork through their spaces. Additionally, work wil be delivered and installed by the Art Lending Library staff. The Art Lending Library and Collection is also looking to acquire some works through donations, allowing us to practice a form of sustainability by upcycling artwork.
