Western Gallery

Solace and inspiration, rain or shine

Though the Western Gallery was closed in 2020, we're exceptionally fortunate to have a world-renowned collection of outdoor public art on our campus. This year some on-site exhibitions are available to the public with limitations and advance registration. Regardless, the sculpture collection is on display throughout the year, rain or shine, in good times and harder times.

The sculptures are part of our lives at Western - bringing us together to share inspiration - or giving us ample room for patient contemplation.

large red metal sculpture being painted by two people in a lift — Mark diSuvero's "For Handel" was recently repainted. The work once again matches the artist's vision. The results are amazing.

With your support, we can develop a new sculpture guide and educational materials for self-directed learning and entertainment.

Help us expand and enrich the community access to this incredible public resource. Thank you.
