According official django documentation to manage static files you have check this points:

django.contrib.staticfiles is included in your INSTALLED_APPS.

define STATIC_URL in settings.py, for example STATIC_URL = '/static/'

Use {% load static %} in templates.

you can define a list of directories STATICFILES_DIRS

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
    '/var/www/static/',
]

Finally, you need to set the script alias so that Apache will pass requests for the root domain to the wsgi.py file and server static and media files. Here is the link how to do this with full description

<VirtualHost *:80>
    . . .

    Alias /static /home/user/myproject/static
    <Directory /home/user/myproject/static>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    <Directory /home/user/myproject/myproject>
        <Files wsgi.py>
            Require all granted
        </Files>
    </Directory>

    WSGIDaemonProcess myproject python-path=/home/user/myproject:/home/user/myproject/myprojectenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages
    WSGIProcessGroup myproject
    WSGIScriptAlias / /home/user/myproject/myproject/wsgi.py

</VirtualHost>
