Welcome to The Hand Art Center
The artistic heart of Stetson University
- An art center that consists of two galleries: an exhibit for rotating pieces from the Vera Bluemner Kouba collection and a gallery that displays works from Stetson University’s art collection or special shows
- Where students have the opportunity to have their artwork on display, including work that is made for senior projects
- An opportunity for students to receive cultural credit: just present your student ID (which allows you free entry into the art center) and complete a cultural credit worksheet based on the works on display
What is the Vera Bluemner Kouba collection?
- A collection of more than 1,000 of Oscar Bluemner’s works which was donated to Stetson University by his daughter, Vera Bluemner Kouba, in 1997 upon her passing
- Featured works of a variety of media: pencil and charcoal studies to works in oil and watercolor
