Art Collection

From event planning to student services and involvement opportunities, the Memorial Union serves as the campus community center for Arizona State University and the greater community. In addition to programs providing educational, cultural, recreational, and social experiences, the Memorial Union recognizes the importance of the visual arts to the community.

The Art Café is an informal eatery and community gathering space that provides an avenue for ASU students, faculty and staff to demonstrate their talents in the area of performing and visual arts. Located on the main level of the Memorial Union, the Art Café includes not only food by Einstein Bros. Bagels but art displays created by ASU students on the walls during the semester.

The Memorial Union's Permanent Art Collection, located throughout the four levels of the building, is composed of paintings, fine art prints, photographs, sculpture and tapestries created by students, faculty, and alumni from ASU's Herberger College of the Arts as well as other recognized artists. These works have become part of the collection through both purchase and the gifts of generous donors.
