University Art Collection 

The University Galleries oversee the University’s art collection, a diverse array of over 1,000 artworks including African and Oceanic art, artists’ books, and outdoor sculpture. The collection is intended to serve as a study and research resource for William Paterson University students, faculty, scholars, and the public. The collection is also the basis for thematic exhibitions, which benefit the University community and the general public.
 
Highlights of the art collection include outdoor sculptures by internationally known contemporary artists and period paintings and decorative arts housed in Hobart Manor, a historic home and centerpiece of the University campus. Some of the most frequently exhibited works include the over 300 one-of-a-kind or limited edition books created by national and international artists from 1960 to the present, and the Joan and Gordon Tobias Collection of African and Oceanic Art.
