Applications to Academic Studies
The long-term permanent collection installations and traveling exhibitions presented in the Ham Museum
galleries throughout the year offer faculty and students the chance to engage visually, emotionally, and
intellectually with significant works of art and provide opportunities to discover how art can illuminate or
provide a context for different disciplines. The museum can contribute significantly to the complete educational
experience of University of Florida students and lead to an appreciation for life-long learning. Knowledgeable
curatorial and education staff are available to provide resources that illustrate links between works of art and
a broad variety of academic curricula, and to organize gallery assignments for collegiate visitors to enhance
their in-class studies.
To explore using the museum to support academic goals or objectives, please call Bonnie Bernau, Director of
Education at 352.392.9826 ext. 113, or Melody Record, Curatorial Secretary at 352.392.9826 ext. 140.

Dr. Madelyn Lockhart Faculty Focus Exhibition
Funds from this endowment support creative collaboration between
Ham Museum of Art staff and UF faculty. Every year museum staff
work with university faculty to develop one or two small art exhibitions
that utilize and emphasize the research and teaching interests of UF
faculty members. Proposals for collaborative exhibition projects
may be initiated by museum staff or by faculty. The number of
projects that can be undertaken each year is limited and there are
restrictions on the size, content and installation requirements of these
exhibitions. Forfurther information, please contact Melody Record, Cu-
ratorial Secretary, at 352.392.9826 ext. 137 or mrecord@harn.ufl.edu.
