Permanent Collections
The Betty Foy Sanders Georgia Artists Collection is a permanent exhibition of artwork curated by Betty Foy Sanders since 1967. Art displayed in the Georgia Artists Collection is by Georgia artists, created with materials found in Georgia, or themed around the state itself.
Donated to the Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art in 2007 by Statesboro Historian, Smith Callaway Banks, his Southern Folk Art Collection brings a whole new world to campus with its unique and colorful pottery, paintings and artifacts.
Other Collections Include
Stephen Bayless, on display in the College of Business Administration, Georgia Southern University
Bernie Solomon Student Work, on display in the IT Building, Georgia Southern University
