The Schneider Museum of Art...

...is a vital force in the intellectual life of Southern Oregon University that promotes an understanding of the visual arts within a liberal arts education. Serving both an academic and community audience, it seeks to build a challenging environment that engages with the visual arts through exhibitions and programs supporting interdisciplinary study, research, and discourse.

The Permanent Collection

The museum's permanent collection originated from gifts donated to the university during the early stages of the museum's planning and development.  Over time with the generous gifts from many collectors in the Rogue Valley, the multifaceted collection has grown to over 500 objects of art.  The museum has tried to maintain as diverse a collection as possible with examples of various media, styles and cultures for exhibition and research. The collection is most heavily focused on works on paper from the 20th century and beyond.
