About the Exhibition (Walking Tour August 2011-July 2012)
Welcome to the 16th annual Washburn University Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition. This show features a variety of artistic expressions and demonstrates the university’s continued commitment to the aesthetic and cultural enhancement of the campus.
As you embark on your walking tour, please take a few minutes to experience each sculpture and note how the work complements the natural beauty of the setting. To make your visit complete, please enjoy the other outdoor sculptures in Washburn’s permanent collection.
Jurors for the 2010-11 exhibition were Cindi Morrison, director of the Mulvane Art Museum, and Larry D. Peters, artist, under the auspices of the Campus Beautification Committee.
JURORS' STATEMENTS:
We were pleased with the quality of artworks submitted in this year’s sculpture exhibition. The level of excellence allowed us to choose strong pieces reflecting a variety of techniques, forms, materials and approaches to outdoor sculpture.
Of highest priority for the jurors was choosing works that demonstrated intellectual engagement with the viewer. As part of the campus setting, we are keenly aware of the learning opportunities and educational value associated with artwork that is conceptually engaging as well as visually exciting. We also looked for sculpture that exhibits a strong artistic voice and brings something original and unique to our campus. Although the jurying process was completed by three individuals, we found ourselves in easy agreement in the selection of the 2011-12 Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition.
We offer a special thank you to the Campus Beautification Committee and Washburn Universityfor continuing to organize this event, and to the participating artists for sharing their artwork with students, faculty, staff and visitors to Washburn University.
We hope you enjoy the artwork!
