Biographical / Historical
The Art and Architecture Committee acts as a liaison between artists, clients, and the University of Northern Iowa administration. The committee was founded following the 1979 passage of the ""Art in State Buildings"" program by the Iowa Legislature. It recommends artists or the purchase of artwork for campus capital improvement projects.
