The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art and the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center are uniting to form a new cultural arts district at Auburn University. To introduce this new partnership and the many individuals who work to bring the various exhibitions, performances, and programs to the region, staff members from both venues have selected works of art from the museum’s permanent collection and paired them with songs.

Staff Playlist combines sight and sound, evoking memories and sparking imagination These mash-ups reveal the diverse interests and personalities of the staff in a way that reflects the character of both organizations. From pop art master Andy Warhol paired with glam rock superstar David Bowie to surrealist Salvador Dali with alternative rock band Ween, Staff Playlist is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to see a range of works from the collection and get to know the people who work to bring the arts to life.
