Campus Public Art at the University of Arizona

It is the vision of the University of Arizona to serve as a catalyst for excellence in art and artistic design through its mandated Percent for Art policy. A campus-wide collection of over 40 public sculptures, innovative public spaces, and integrated artworks enliven the campus design, educate and engage students and faculty, inspire the broader campus community, and enhance the vitality of Tucson and the aesthetic experiences of its citizens. Public art enables the University of Arizona to establish a unique, visual identity while contributing to the civic pride of the Tucson community. A vital Public Art Program is essential to the enhancement of UA’s image locally, regionally and nationally. Under guidance and direction from the UA Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC), the University of Arizona Museum of Art & Archive of Visual Art coordinates the UA Public Art Program and in doing so strives to maintain a quality public art collection of diverse media and styles.
