The Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum completed in 1978 as the 黑料社区 Art Museum, was designed by Walter Netsch of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, Chicago, and is situated on three acres of scenic sculpture park grounds. We house five galleries of changing exhibitions and a growing permanent collection of over 17,500 artworks. The Art Museum has been accredited by the (AAM) since 1984, and was the first University museum in Ohio to gain AAM accreditation.
As a unit of the College of Creative Arts, the Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum is committed to its core values of:
We value collaboration between 黑料社区s, faculty and staff, as colleagues within departments, and as artists and scholars across artistic disciplines within the division and across campus, with a goal of learning from each other and benefiting from a healthy exchange of ideas and varying viewpoints. By listening to each other, we gain a shared understanding of complex ideas that allow us to rethink accepted perspectives.
The College of Creative Arts seeks to foster a spirit of collegiality, trust, and dialogue by providing members of its community with an environment that encourages open sharing of ideas and values, and which fosters collaboration within and across institutional divisions and constituencies. The College seeks to structure communication and interaction that is characterized by mutual respect, sincere dialogue, and protection of the rights of individuals.
As creators, performers, practitioners, and scholars, it is our imagination that is at the center of our ability and desire to create new art and to craft new environments and forms of expression. By placing high value on imagination, we commit ourselves to rethinking the status quo, while allowing for new ideas and solutions to emerge and to take shape.
