History

In 1957, the board of trustees of Western Washington University established a policy that encouraged public art on the campus.[3] The first work added to the collection, commissioned by Paul Thiry,[6] was James Fitzgerald's Rain Forest, in 1960.[3]

Campus architect Ibsen Nelsen commissioned Isamu Noguchi's "Skyviewing Sculpture" in the 1960s.[6]

Funding for the acquisition of the works in the collection came from a combination of sources that included the state's one percent for art law, The Virginia Wright Fund,[7] and the National Endowment for the Arts [8]

The collection is overseen by the director of the university's Western Art Gallery. As of 2015, the director of the collection is Hafþór Yngvason.[4]
