Wake Forest launches a new digital guide to art collections, exhibitions and more

Wake Forest University collections and gallery exhibitions are now available in a new digital guide on Bloomberg Connects, a free arts and culture app created by Bloomberg Philanthropies. The Bloomberg Connects app makes the University’s art accessible for both on-site and off-site visits through photo, audio and video features.

“We are thrilled to make our Collection available to a wider audience. Wake Forest joins a growing roster of national and international museums and cultural spaces on Bloomberg Connects, and we are one of only a few academic institutions on the app,” said Jennifer Finkel, Acquavella Curator of Collections. “This guide allows us to increase the visibility of art on our campus and our remarkable collection, which includes highlights from the Mark H. Reece Collection of Student-Acquired Contemporary Art,  and it is a resource for faculty, students, staff and visitors. We can also share how art is being used across the curriculum from engineering to dance.”

During the 2023-24 academic year, Wake Forest will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Reece Collection and the University’s one-of-a-kind student art-buying experience.
