A photo gallery featuring high-resolution images of the sculptures selected for KCC’s most recent Biennial Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition installed in 2022 is available online at dropbox.com/sh/giwoz08nrx97ztl/AADgqgzkP9eWN249WkV7N78ea?e=1&dl=0.
For more information, contact Art Exhibits Director Penny Rose at rosep@kellogg.edu or 269-565-7961.
KCC’s campus features several courtyard locations appropriate for smaller-scale freestanding or pedestal pieces, and several 6-foot round concrete pads have been poured to accommodate larger sculptures. There may be additional locations which could accommodate larger sculptures without pads depending on installation and anchoring requirements. Photographs of poured concrete locations will be provided upon request.
The mission of the Kellogg Community College Foundation’s Art on Campus Initiative is to provide art experiences on KCC campuses for students, faculty, staff and the community. The Art on Campus Initiative curates KCC’s permanent art collection, administers the College’s DeVries Lecture Series focused on the arts, and has funded the installation of several sculptures on campus since 2012.
