Award-Winning Art on Campus

The sculpture Breaking Barriers won a 2023 Masonry Institute of Iowa Appreciation Award! It was judged on contribution to the masonry industry, community impact, visual appearance, construction detailing, and workmanship quality.

Breaking Barriers by internationally known artist Ivan Toth Depeña features bronze cleat prints in the Albaugh Family Plaza floor leading up to an Artstone portal in the form of offensive lineman Jack Trice breaking barriers. Visitors can walk through it following in Jack's footsteps.

Learn more about this sculpture at the In Commemoration Walking Tour on Wednesday, April 12 at noon (registration required) or check out our webpage on Jack Trice in the Art on Campus Collection.
