History
The Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art unites the University's permanent collection
and galleries program, founded in 1984 by Roberta Griffin, professor emerita at Kennesaw
State University. Bernard A. Zuckerman, an industry leader and supporter of the arts
in Atlanta, began the initiative to build an art museum at the University with a pledge
of $2 million in 2010. The pledge has since been matched with an additional $1 million
from community donors and is supported by the KSU Foundation.
On March 1, 2014, the new building opened on the main campus of the University. As
part of the greater KSU Arts District, the Zuckerman Museum of Art and its satellite
spaces serve as a conduit between Kennesaw State and the greater community. The new
building also provides a state-of -the-art home and research facility for the growing
KSU permanent collection.
