ART WALK: IMAGINING OUR CAMPUS WITHOUT ART |
SEPT 27

Can you imagine campus without a single work of art? All of the buildings, just four walls and a roof? No fountains, sculpture, or murals for aesthetic enjoyment? We can sometimes take the splendor of our art-filled campus for granted. Join the University Museums as we take a moment to enjoy the incredible beauty that has been a core educational value at Iowa State since it's very founding.
Meet in the Food Sciences Building Courtyard at noon.

The ISU Portrait Collection portrays scientists, engineers, artists, humanitarians, presidents, deans and department chairs, visionaries and villains, agriculturalists and activists, entrepreneurs and journalists, who helped shape our culture and whose lives tell significant Iowa State stories.
