About the UAMA :
« The University of Arizona Museum of Art advances the academic and research mission of the University, inspires critical dialogue among campus and community audiences, and celebrates art as essential to our lives through the stewardship and interpretation of its expanding collection of art and archives.
The permanent collection includes masterpieces that span eight centuries and innumerable artistic styles. Highlights include The Altarpiece from Ciudad Rodrigo, Elisabeth Vigée-LeBrun’s The Countess von Schönfeld with Her Daughter, Willem de Kooning’s Woman-Ochre, Kerry James Marshall’s Century 21, Mark Rothko’s Green on Blue (Earth-Green and White), and Georgia O’Keeffe’s Red Canna. The UAMA invites all community members to enrich art on campus, in Tucson, and beyond by contributing their voices and stories.
The UAMA is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the highest national recognition afforded the nation’s museums. Initially accredited in 1981, the museum has maintained that standard for 40 years. Of the nation’s estimated 33,000 museums, only 1,070 are currently accredited. »
