• Public Art
  From New York City to Los Angeles, public art in all media - sculpture, murals, fountains, and functional elements - creates community identity and national pride. Public art also shares artists' visions with a broad audience - resonating differently with each person who views them.
  In the same spirit, Arizona State University supports more than 20 public artworks on its 720-acre Tempe campus and 300-acre West campus, providing a lively forum for discussion about art and the context in which it was created.
  Established in January 2001 within the Katherine K. Herberger College of Fine Arts, the Office of Public Art at Arizona State University aims to stimulate thought and celebrate the rich historical traditions of the university and the state of Arizona. From Depression-era murals to contemporary sculpture, these works create a sense of place, enliven the campus and welcome the surrounding community.
