New Sculptures to be Featured on Campus
Beautifying the campus with high quality artwork, USD will bring seven new sculptures to campus on August 14 as part of the university’s SculptureWalk. The successful collaboration between USD and SculptureWalk Sioux Falls calls on international artists in order to showcase their sculptures in Sioux Falls and on USD’s campus.
Laura McNaughton, Executive Administrative Assistant to President Abbott, and Larry Schou, Dean of Fine Arts, work with Jim Clark, Director of SculptureWalk Sioux Falls, in selecting the best pieces for location on campus. In addition, USD will also be working with the city by installing four new sculptures to be located in downtown Vermillion. USD hopes people will enjoy walking the campus to see the sculptures in their specific locations. The USD Sculpture Walk was created at the request of President James W. Abbott in 2012.
