Library Art Prize
Thanks to an endowment provided by the Middendorf Foundation, the SU Libraries are able to award one or more Library Art Prizes each year. These prizes recognize outstanding work presented at the Senior Fine Arts Show or the Senior Graphic Design Show by purchasing artwork for addition to the Libraries’ permanent collection. Most items are on display in the Guerrieri Academic Commons.
