The Annette and Dale Schuh Visiting Artist Endowment supports an annual visit of a visual artist of a significant stature to UW-Whitewater. It offers a transformative visual arts experience to students in the Department of Art and Design. As such, the Crossman Gallery has acquired work by various past Schuh Visiting Artists.

Established in 2023, WOTA Collects Art is an initiative with the aim of not only bringing students across campus to the Crossman Gallery, but to engage them directly in growing the art collection that ultimately belongs to them. Thus, each fall, the College of Arts and Communication invites “World of the Arts” (WOTA) students to vote on a new artwork to acquire for the Crossman Gallery’s permanent collection. The artwork with the most votes will be purchased and then will be displayed in the Center of the Arts atrium for the remainder of the academic year.
