The University of Michigan enjoys a rich and engaging campus environment conducive to learning, inquiry, and creativity. We want members of our community to be at home in spaces that are uniquely “Michigan” and that embody our institutional spirit.

Public art plays a significant role in creating such an environment. We want to develop an approach that will, over time, transform U-M into a university distinguished for its public art, and that will link art more closely to the expression of our academic aspirations.
