The outdoor sculpture in the University of Cincinnati Fine Arts Collection is situated primarily on the two main campuses of the university, located in the Clifton neighborhood of Cincinnati and totaling approximately 200 acres. These include the west (main) campus and the east (medical) campus. The collection includes commemorative sculpture honoring the accomplishments of important university figures, as well as works of contemporary sculpture accompanying the construction of new facilities completed as part of the university's ambitious master plan.

Many of the works of contemporary sculpture have been funded through the State of Ohio Percent for Art Program. Others have been privately funded. The collection presently includes notable works by Magdalena Abakanowicz, Terry Allen, James Carpenter, George Rickey, and Joel Shapiro. A work by Kenneth Snelson was recently purchased but will not be installed until 2003 due to construction schedules affecting the planned site for the sculpture.

In addition, notable indoor pieces include works by Sam Gilliam, Nam June Paik, and Tim Prentice. Currently, the outdoor sculpture program is initiating temporary sculpture installations. The first will be a commissioned piece by Patrick Dougherty and is scheduled for the spring of 2002.

Free admission.

The outdoor sculpture is viewable 365 days per year.
