While most of UIndy's arts events are on summer break, now is the perfect time to check out the Fifth Third Bank Campus Sculpture Walk at UIndy. This unique outdoor art exhibition remains open for viewing year-round, with its current lineup of sculptures in place through August.

The 2007-2008 edition of the Fifth Third Bank Campus Sculpture Walk features 17 pieces by 16 artists from seven states. The large-scale works are locatedBernie Carreño’s yellow steel sculpture “Sol y Sombra.” throughout the 65-acre campus at 1400 E. Hanna Ave. A map and further information on the artists and their work are available online through the UIndy Arts site or in print at the Department of Art & Design office in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center.

A few pieces were held over from the 2006-2007 exhibition, but most were new to campus last fall after being selected in a juried competition open to artists from around the country. The sculptures are made from durable materials such as copper, steel, aluminum and limestone. They range widely in size, style and subject, from Bernie Carreño’s yellow steel Jennifer Meyer’s “Big Red Prop Flower.”sculpture “Sol y Sombra,” inspired by the sunlight at a Madrid bullfight, to Jennifer Meyer’s “Big Red Prop Flower,” a composite of found objects that serves as her “attempt to clean up the planet.”

The UIndy sculpture walk is made possible through the support of Fifth Third Bank.

Artists interested in submitting work for consideration in the 2008-2009 exhibition can find more information through the Art Department.
