Guide To Public Art On UC Davis Campus

It's the rare student or visitor at UC Davis who doesn't take time to pose for a photo with one of the Eggheads on campus.

But the egg-shaped, giant bronze heads by the longtime faculty member Robert Arneson are only part of the art that can be seen strolling the campus. Art history graduate students Arielle Hardy, Justina Martino, Piper Milton and Brittany Royer have made these pieces even more accessible by creating the first guide to UC Davis' public art.

The guide gives insights into very visible artworks like the Eggheads and former art professor William Wiley's What's It All Mean gong at the Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, along with nearly hidden pieces. You can download the guide for more details. At the bottom of this story, learn where the art is located on a campus map the art history group created.
