public art scarce on campus?

I attempted to take pictures of public art today but I got lost instead and climbed through a hole in the fence behind Woody's dining hall and ended up with 18 awful pictures of lamps, benches, and trees. Let me tell you, that was not fun.

So I initially thought I would be staying on campus but I think that's what most of us are doing and there's only so much public art on campus, no? I know we made that huge list of what public art can be but I think public art is pretty scarce on campus. There's only so many fountains, statues, or paintings for some of us...

Anyways, I think I'm going to venture off campus or at least try to, we'll see. I hope I see a plethora of public art because I'm not seeing it here on campus. All I see are red bricks and squirrels -_-

  1. Thanks for this Michelle. I also agree that there seems to be a lack of public art on campus. I am also going to try to go off campus. I think that Piedmont Park might be a good place to check out and its pretty close to campus-Lauren Winkler

  2. I was going to include this as part of my blog tomorrow as well. I thought it would be pretty easy to find art just walking around campus, but then I realized there was a lot less than I expected. I hope to find some more off-campus art this week.

  3. Yeah, even I agree that there isn't really as much public art on campus as i expect there to be. I mean we have a lot of green space, so why not have a lot of public art for viewing?
