McDonough Museum of Art

The John J. McDonough Museum of Art reinforces the mission of the Cliffe College of Creative Arts and that of Youngstown State University in placing academic excellence, scholarship, and innovation at the center of our operations. We work together with faculty and students from the Department of Art to develop programs and exhibitions that enhance the Department’s contemporary and interdisciplinary teaching mission.

The Museum is a vital cultural resource for our region — offering a range of dynamic programs that include exhibitions, installations, performances, and lectures that invite campus and community members to discover and explore meaning in contemporary art.
