WHO?

WHat?

WHen?

WHere?

The Gregg Museum of Art & Design, NC State

University’s collecting art museum, has found

a new home for its diverse collection of 25,000

objects and its various education and public

programs.

The Gregg Museum Campaign must raise funds

in order to renovate and build the museum’s

new home and grow the Gregg’s endowment.

NC State University demonstrated its commit-

ment to the new museum by funding half of the

capital project.

The Gregg Museum Campaign is underway

now. Once we reach our goal, we will begin

renovations and construction, and soon we will

have the new Gregg Museum of Art & Design!

The historic chancellor’s residence at 1903

Hillsborough Street in Raleigh will be the

site of the new Gregg, forming the apex of a

campus and community arts complex that will

include Pullen Arts Center and Theatre in the

Park.

and the biggest question . . .3

think about

The new Gregg Museum of Art & Design was designed by

the celebrated Freelon Group, headquartered in Durham,

NC. The Freelon Group are the lead designers of the new

Smithsonian National Museum of African American

History and Culture. Freelon’s Principal and Founder, Phil

Freelon, graduated from NC State’s College of Design and

was appointed by the President of the United States to the

U.S. Commission of Fine Arts.

WHY?Because the Gregg Museum is an

accessible and innovative hub of

interdisciplinary research and hands-

on learning. The Gregg holds major

collections in textiles and clothing,

ceramics, folk and Native American

art, photography, design, decorative

arts, and outsider art. The museum

is poised to share these extensive

collections and use them to educate

students and the community.

The Gregg Museum is ready for its

big leap forward.

The Gregg’s exhibitions

Are about

Where did this come from?

How is it made?

What is it made of ?

How was it used?

What does it mean?

Why is it here?

They encourage visitors to ask:

ideas.

LOOK AT IT!The Gregg Museum of Art &

Design will be free and open

not only to NC State students

but also to the general public.

6

TOUCH IT!

The Gregg Museum grants extraor-

dinary access to anyone who visits.

The Gregg staff will personally show

you the collection. Visitors can even

handle objects, because the Gregg

knows there’s nothing like seeing

and touching the real thing.

WAIT,

REALLY?

The new

Gregg

Museum

of Art &

Design will

be of the

community, by the

community, and for the

community.
