UAMA establishes the Archive for the Visual Arts

The University of Arizona Museum of Art's new research arm, the Archive of Visual Arts (AVA), will expand the museum's focus to include the full spectrum of the visual arts.

The AVA will collect artists' papers and materials to support the study of creativity and document the motivations that inspire individual artists to do their best work. These materials include diaries, business and personal correspondence, financial planning documents, contracts, wills, technical data, slides, photos and videos.

The archive will facilitate research in related and tangential fields such as arts, business, law, estate planning, marketing, entrepreneurship, museum studies, philosophy and criticism.
