HWS Public Art Map

A project by HWS PACT: Public Art for Community Transformation

Quick Map Overview

As a research and social action project, the Public Art for Community Transformation (PACT) seeks to transform public spaces through art that sparks dialogue, fosters community, and cultivates diversity and inclusion. We began this project by documenting existing public art on campus and mapped 20 artworks in total, 19 of them being sculptures and 1 being a mural. These sculptures were largely produced by students and faculty, ranging from 40+ year old pieces to ones produced only a few years ago. It is our desire, as members of HWS PACT, to see the presence & impact of public art on campus expand, inspiring creativity, conversation, and diversity. This is a living document that we hope to continue to add onto as more art is displayed on campus.
