WELCOME TO THE HOLLINS UNIVERSITY SCAA WEBSITE!
The Hollins University Young Curators program is a student led program with a strong peer mentoring component. It provides students with practical knowledge of and experience in the world of art and museums as they organize art exhibitions each year from concept to installation. Through the program, students learn all aspects of museum work, including fundraising, curating and art handling, and develop skills in business management, aesthetics, writing, and critical thinking.
Community service efforts include volunteering at the Taubman Museum of Art and Center in the Square.
SCAA working together with:
Taubman Museum of Art
The new Taubman Museum of Art, an 81,000 square-foot Museum in downtown Roanoke, has been constructed. The new facility, designed by architect Randall Stout, is transforming western Virginia with an architectural achievement like no other. The facility houses state-of-the-art exhibition galleries, a stellar permanent collection, and an education center that provides innovative and exemplary education initiatives that will enhance and improve K-12 and higher education programs in the region.
The Taubman Museum of Art is the boldest public-private economic development project ever undertaken in the western region of the Commonwealth. It will fuel economic development, attract new businesses and employees to western Virginia, create jobs, revitalize downtown Roanoke, and add significantly to the quality of life in Roanoke and the region. As a major tourist destination, the Taubman Museum of Art will attract record numbers of visitors to Roanoke and western Virginia. The new facility will enable the Museum to properly showcase its rapidly growing, nationally important permanent collection, and to grow its education and outreach programs to meet continually increasing demand for quality art education programming and family experiences. The new Museum will become the signature attraction for Roanoke and western Virginia in the twenty-first century.
