Homelessness of a different stripe has been a fact of life on the UM campus. But a solution is only a few years away. The University’s art collection, begun in 1894 – only a year after the school’s founding – astonishes all who hear its story. More than 10,000 works of art com - prise the collection, several hundred of which are displayed in 26 buildings on campus and around the state. In fact, lack of space dictates that only one-half Affecting the heart and mind. of 1 per cent can be exhibited at a specific time. The museum staff is equally scattered, working in seven primary locations — galleries, offices, and various storage sites. “After more than 100 years of collecting,” says Barbara Koostra, director of the Mon tana Museum of Art & Culture, “the time has come for the collection to have a permanent home. People,” she continues, “are interested in how a museum functions and serves in a university setting. They need to understand the pan-discipline approach of our museum, viewing the world using ‘the Renaissance mind,’ in which a museum collection enhances ideas across the curricula.” The UM Foundation, the museum’s board of advisors, and Koostra have embarked on a new phase in University history.Their goal is to raise $13.5 million for an endowment and a museum building, in which the permanent collection will be the centerpiece.
John Hilberry Museum Consulting, New York, and A&E Architects, Missoula and Billings, have developed conceptual drawings for the 33,000-square-foot building, to be located on the north edge of campus. With space for exhibitions and educational programs and almost 10,000 square feet of climate-controlled storage, its placement will make it the gateway to campus. “Our goal is to create a home for the collection that offers the best stewardship for the works of art,” says Koostra. “We are caretakers of a great asset that belongs not only to the University but also to the state and beyond.” Rudy Autio headed the ceramics area of UM’s School of Fine Arts for 28 years. His career is marked by international achievement and recognition. The Finnish designers organization, Ornamo, elected him an honorary member, and in 1981 he was named first recipient of the Montana Governor’s Arts Award. A Montana native and professor emeritus, Autio died in 2007. 29
