Union Made: Art from the University of Sydney Union
Union Made: Art from the University of Sydney Union features major artworks from the largest collection amassed by an Australian student union, now held by Chau Chak Wing Museum.
Since the first acquisition in 1913, the collection has been displayed on the walls of the USU buildings, Holme, Manning and Wentworth, recognising how art can shape student thinking and enrich the student experience.
This exhibition celebrates the USU’s 150th anniversary by presenting a dazzling selection across rare European works, contemporary Indigenous art and Australian modernism.
