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.
The artworks selected for the School of Medicine & Health Sciences were hung just in time for the new building’s dedication on October 14, 2016. Some artworks make reference to issues of health, while others were selected for purely aesthetic purposes. According to Dr. Joshua Wynne, Vice President for Health Affairs and Dean of UND’s School of Medicine & Health Sciences, art fulfills an essential human need that enhances the quality of life. With this in mind, while some artworks in the building make direct reference to medical issues or themes, all of the artworks can be viewed as having relevance in a building devoted to educating future generations of health professionals.
