The Blaffer Art Museum Student Association (BAMSA) was founded in 2005 with the goal to increase student participation in the museum community, enabling students to enrich their educational experience and the museum to reach an important audience.
Today, BAMSA builds a creative community open to students across disciplines that sparks students’ quest for knowledge and pursuit of artistic endeavors.

Committee on Visual Culture
The museum also engages faculty and staff through the Committee on Visual Culture (CoVC), a forum that not only provides information about upcoming museum programs and available resources, but also encourages collaboration and provides a networking opportunity to connect peers across campus.
If you are a UH faculty and staff member who is interested in joining the CoVC, please e-mail kveneman@uh.edu.
