Mission Statement
Krannert Art Museum and Kinkead Pavilion is a catalyst in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the extended community to support interdisciplinary collaboration and the synthesis of knowledge for the benefit of current and future generations.

exhibiting diverse and contemporary artists, embracing new media and technologies, and supporting emerging artists and the creative process;
