Over the summer of 2024, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's Permanent Art Collection, comprised of nearly 800 pieces, received a digital reboot. Under the supervision and guidance of Greg Kocken and Anna Zook, Michelle McMahon, an Integrative Visual Arts major, curated multiple exhibits in a newly established online Omeka site. These exhibits, representing 100+ years of artists and stories, have created a new method for campus visitors and students to engage with the art within this remarkable collection of 3D and 2D art, creating new avenues for teaching, research, and study.
