MoFA's
Mission
The mission of the Museum is twofold: to enrich the university
and the community by
exhibiting works of art which expand the understanding of art
today and of the
past and to serve as a teaching instrument for art instruction,
particularly by holding
exhibitions of informational value to students and the general
public and by providing
student artists with an arena to exhibit their work.
MoFA's
Programming
MoFA
has a history of exciting projects—from lush painting
to dynamic sculpture exhibitions, from challenging installations
to provocative photography shows. Every season begins with an
international competitive exhibition that embraces all media
and every semester closes with the youth and exuberance of the
graduating artist exhibitions. In past years we have shown the
works of an honor roll of contemporary artists—James Rosenquist,
Duane Hanson, James Turrell, Judy Chicago to name a few—and
thematic exhibitions have looked at topics from gun imagery
in our society to the powerful expressions of Latina and Black
women artists. We have examined the contact zone of Anglo and
Native American cultures, the mystical side of Haitian folk
painting, and the unsophisticated but intense works of outsider
artists. The future promises exhibitions of equal caliber and
interest.
The Florida State
University Museum of Fine Arts is a member of Florida Association
of Museums, Florida Art Museum Directors’ Association,
Florida Cultural Action Alliance, Southeastern Museums’
Conference and is accredited by the American Association of
Museums.
