UND Art Collections is a campus-wide venture whose mission is to utilize the University’s art for education, research, and cultural enrichment. The Living Art Museum (LAM) plan involves placing artworks in various locations on campus. Some of the displays (developed with funding provided by the Myers Foundations) were put into operation by 2010, such as the exhibit in the Department of American Indian Studies in O’Kelly Hall.
Opening in fall 2011 were installations in the Chester Fritz Library and the Education Building. The latter was the first site in which the entire building was utilized as a unified LAM exhibition. The art and historic photographs displayed in the Education building were all carefully selected with the theme of education in mind.
