Art has the power to transmit ideas that can move individuals, even communities, to address crucial issues and stimulate change.
In May 2005, the Columbus Museum of Art added 64 paintings and 375 prints from the Phillip J. and Suzanne Schiller Collection of American Social Commentary Art 1930-1970 to its already significant holdings of 20th century American art.
Art & Social Issues is an educational program developed around the Museum’s extensive American Collection.
These critical visual commentaries create a vivid, authentic picture of American experiences for students to draw from and relate to modern America.
Reproductions, Artist Biographies, lesson plans, bibliographies and other related materials are a part of the continually expanding resources that will be offered as a part of The Art and Social Issues Program.
