Art in Public Places
The practice of commissioning, purchasing and accepting gifts of art works has a rich history on the campus of the University of North Texas. UNT’s Denton campus currently displays more than 80 works of art in various media ranging from a 1890s Impressionist painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir to a site-specific installation by Daniel Bozhkov that includes a sustainable garden and rainwater catchment system.
As a public institution of higher learning, UNT nurtures performance and research in art and promotes an appreciation for creative expression. New buildings, renovations, and donations all provide opportunities to create iconic spaces and integrate works of art into campus life. The selection of artworks that are diverse in content, genre, and media is an outward manifestation of the value UNT places on the diversity of its constituents.
