DePaul Art Museum Closure Raises Concerns Over Art Collection's Future
DePaul University has announced the closure of its art museum, the DePaul Art Museum (DPAM), effective June 30, 2026. This decision has sparked significant opposition from students and faculty, who have gathered over 3,000 signatures in an open letter against the closure. The museum, which houses approximately 4,000 objects, including works by notable artists such as Christina Ramberg and Roger Brown, faces an uncertain future. The closure is part of the university's efforts to address a projected budget deficit by cutting spending.
