Works of public art have the capacity to resonate deeply, stimulate curiosity, and inspire the imagination in unexpected ways. At The University of Texas at Austin, the public art collection is one of the most distinguishing features of the main campus, shaping impressions and offering a distinctive setting for memorable experiences.

As the university’s public art program, Landmarks enriches the lives of students and visitors by presenting art that is broadly accessible and free to all. Some fifty works of modern and contemporary art are throughout the 433-acre campus and viewed by thousands of people every day.

To embark on the scavenger hunt download the STEM Girl Day Landmarks Scavenger Hunt.

As you discover each work in Landmarks' public art collection, investigate it from a STEM perspective:

• How many beams, boats, or mountains make up the works of art?

• How is the art made? What materials were used and why?

• What engineering or physics was used to create the sculptures?

• What other science, technology, engineering, or math might have been used to design, create, build, manufacture, or place the art?

Storytime for children aged 5 and under and their parents, featuring stories, songs, fingerplays, rhymes, and crafts or other extension activities. Program length can vary.

Want to grow your own food or fruit trees? Visit the forest and learn about the plants and trees that thrive here and how to work with nature in a symbiotic way.

As spring approaches we'll be refreshing our planting zones, laying pathways, and feeding the forest with compost and mulch. We start with an opening circle under our Pecan Canopy, then break into groups. After a solid work session, we'll circle back under the Pecans to celebrate our accomplishments, socialize, and enjoy the forest.
