Gevas worked to begin an investment for the University. Gevas compared viewing art in the hallway to taking an art history class. When you take an art history class, you usually view the on slides, everything is the same size. Experiencing art in its actual size brings a whole new perspective. Though it is not an easy task to acquire artwork, various factors may influence an individuals' or corporation to support the collection.
People donate for various reasons.
I try to think of what would have been a great resource as a teacher. Some of these things include The Collection in the hallway, or The Gallery that you could refer to when teaching, or the lectures that benefit campus and community members. Gevas reflected on her eleven years with The Gallery of Contemporary Art. I started The Gallery and we were able to develop it over the years. I would say that in spite of difficulties, having great support from the administration to create the programs that I think are important has been rewarding.
