About the Stuart Collection
The Stuart Collection is unique among universities in the United States, given its scope and approach to commissioning contemporary sculpture. It is distinguished from a traditional sculpture garden by its site-specific nature. Many of the installations are fused to university buildings and integrated into the landscape itself. Great care is taken to incorporate the university’s long- and short-range plans while maintaining the integrity of the art and providing provocative, thoughtful and carefully considered additions to the fabric of campus life.
