As VCAC will subsume the Art Promotion and Collection Advisory Committee, the Art Promotion and Collection Policy has been revised. The revised policy delineates the organisational and aesthetic culture that the University intends the Art collection to reflect and promote. It also removes the operational/procedural aspects of the policy which are reflected in the VCAC Terms of Reference
