A $1 million gift from MSU Federal Credit Union, or MSUFCU, was donated to the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum for the MSUFCU Artist Studio Series Endowment.
April Clobes, MSUFCU executive vice president and chief operating officer, said this endowment will bring artists featured at the museum to MSU’s campus to work with students in classes at an educational level.
“The artist will engage with MSU students who are studying art,” she said, adding they will instruct classes and help students with their work.
The artist also will go into local schools and work with art students on their projects.
Sculpture artist Alyson Shotz — the first artist in the program — will visit MSU in April, Clobes said. Her piece, “Geometry of Light,” is featured in the museum.
Clobes said the hope for the program is to bring artists from across the world and Michigan to MSU’s campus.
