Outdoor Sculpture Collection

Overview and Mission

Considered as one of ten acclaimed university collections in the United States, the Outdoor Sculpture Collection is nationally recognized for its leadership in the concept of art in the daily, living environment of an university community. The sculpture collection has set standards for quality education as well as fostered an atmosphere of risk-taking and discovery. The sculpture collection features major international, national and regional artists who address such issues as the relationship of nature and culture, human scale, types of narration, personal perceptions and spatial dynamics. Whether temporary installations or permanent objects, figurative or abstract in appearance, these works represent sculpture from 1960 to the present.
