Art is in our back yard: The USC Art Gallery & Art Collection - Megan Williams

In 1995, USC – or the Sunshine Coast University College as it was then known – purchased its first artwork, establishing the beginnings of what would become the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) Art Collection. Twenty-seven years on, USC is now home to the largest and most professional art gallery and the most significant public collection of art in the region. In this talk, Megan Williams, manager and curator of the USC Art Gallery and Art Collection, will describe the rich history of the Collection and the Gallery
