Northwestern Learning
Teaching and Research
The Block supports teaching with visual art across Northwestern, engaging departments and schools from the humanities to law, journalism, and engineering. We collaborate with faculty to integrate art into teaching and research, making the museum a meaningful resource for their work and their students.
Northwestern Student Connections
Northwestern students are integral to The Block, contributing to publications, communications, programs, and collaborations with artists—gaining skills that enrich their academic and professional lives.
The Block Collection
At The Block, the collection anchors our teaching and scholarship, shaping opportunities for interdisciplinary study and dialogue. Students and faculty encounter original works of art as catalysts for research, coursework, and experiential learning across Northwestern.
