One of the nation’s foremost site-specific, contemporary sculpture collections, the Stuart Collection continues to enhance and complement our evolving campus—already rich in contemporary architecture— through a commissioning and curatorial process at once independent of and in collaboration with the university.

Each sculpture has a story to tell. And art lovers locally and across the nation are drawn to learn more. The Stuart Collection is regularly featured in the media to showcase new pieces and share the impressive breadth of the works with audiences everywhere. Here you will find a selection of press clips.

All media requests can be directed to Erika Johnson at erjohnson@ucsd.edu.
