Public Art

Public art is an opportunity for artists, designers, students, faculty, staff, and the Tucson community to explore our unique cultures, histories, and artistic expressions. Abstract art, tile mosaics, memorials and – of course – wildcats all weave together a visual history of campus life, civic engagement, and creative ideas.

Each piece enlivens the campus design, engages students and faculty, inspires the broader campus community, and enhances the vitality of Tucson and the aesthetic experiences of its citizens.

UAMA has created two self-guided public art tours, designed to be accessed via a network-connected mobile device:
