Norris’s permanent art collection holds within its vast catalog decades of collaboration between Northwestern and its creative communities. Gathered from donation, acquisition, and commission, our collected surveys a range of visual art created by both preeminent national artists and close by community members and students. With mediums ranging from sculpture to mosaics to protest posters, the walls of Norris celebrate and promote visual creation in all of its forms.

As we are constantly in conversation on what new works should be added to our growing collection, it is intrinsically important to us that our art reflect and inspire our equally diverse community. We are proud to house in Norris an art collection that is vibrantly pulling together both student and professional, local and national artworks.
