Guiding principles
The faculty of the Division of Fine Arts have the responsibility of arranging for and directing art displays in the McClelland Gallery based on the following principles:
- The McClelland Gallery functions within the context of Union College, a Christian college operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. We uphold Union’s standards and values. The Gallery has no permanent collection, but exists to showcase art from students, staff and faculty, alumni and guest artists.
- Christian education is our reason for existence. We believe art changes lives. Our goal is to celebrate art by exploring ideas, considering diverse viewpoints, encouraging diversity of expression and communication, and featuring a variety of artistic mediums and approaches.
- We strive to honor our Creator by celebrating beauty, to awaken and nurture sensitivity to and appreciation of art, and to discover and promote individual creativity, within high standards of quality.
- We value critical thinking, and promote it by selecting artwork in a variety of styles and content and by providing written context as appropriate.
- We encourage diversity, both in artists represented and in the medium and style of artwork shown.
