Art
In 1986, Dr. John J. McDonough, a prominent collector of American Art, and a dedicated member of the community, offered Youngstown State University the opportunity to build their own museum. The McDonough Museum of Art, a division of the College of Fine and Performing Arts opened its doors to the public in 1991. For thirteen years the museum has grown to become a vital center for contemporary art, education and community serving both the University and the region. Each year the Museum presents a diverse and critical survey of contemporary art in all media through exhibitions of work by national and international artists as well as Department of Art faculty and students.
