In 2008, the University Galleries was awarded a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Photographic Legacy Program in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the foundation.

The collection includes a number of nudes, portraits of movie stars and anonymous folks, New York disco and street scenes, rock stars and Warhols world travels. The photographs were selected by SUs exhibit curator, Linda Shipp, to illustrate Warhols process and take viewers back and forth between his art, his work and his life.

On November 30, 1785 George Washington wrote to David Stuart, a trusted associate and stepfather to Washington’s grandchildren. “If we consider ourselves, or wish to be considered by Others as a United people, why not adopt the measures that are characteristic of it—Act as a Nation. . .” Through an examination of this letter the exhibition reveals Washington's active role in the political debates of the day leading up to the Constitutional Convention. The letter remained in the Stuart family until last year, when through a donation of Dr. Peter Buck, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History acquired the document. This is the first time this letter has been on public display. At National Museum of American History, Washington, D.C. 202-633-1000.
