ASU’s diverse collection of sculptures, murals and fountains is located throughout the 720-acre campus.

Many projects were funded by the University’s Percent-for-Art ordinance, which instructs that a percentage of all new construction costs be set aside for public art.

The public is invited to take an interactive tour, or a self-guided walking tour of the Tempe campus collection that includes 17 works representing a variety of artists and pieces from multiple eras:
