The Challenge Grant will match dollar-for-dollar gifts to support the acquisition of art for the campus and accelerate a permanent collection of enduring quality for the Georgia Tech community to enjoy. It will serve as the funding source for the eight sculptures in the exhibition curated by John Henry, the internationally acclaimed, Chattanooga-based sculptor.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe are grateful for the support of the Arts Advisory Board in the establishment of an Arts Acquisition Fund that will allow Georgia Tech to acquire a large portion of the \u003Cem\u003EEngineered Art\u003C\/em\u003E collection, and acquire additional pieces as the opportunity presents itself,\u201d said Board Chair Sonny Seals. \u201cThe Arts Advisory Board has accomplished a lot in a short period of time. It should be noted that a substantial portion of the board are not Tech alumni \u2013 they are friends of Tech who understand the importance of the arts to the Institute as we embrace a more arts-centric student experience.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe \u003Cem\u003EEngineered Art\u003C\/em\u003E exhibition is part of Arts@Tech, an initiative to enhance the Georgia Tech community by fostering programs and events spanning the arts spectrum \u2013 at the intersection of technological innovation and creative expression.
