Public and Visual Arts Council
Virginia Tech’s Public and Visual Arts Council works to increase the presence of public art to:
- Inspire, invigorate, and challenge students, faculty, staff, and visitors to our campuses
- Generate creative vitality and provide places for contemplation
- Reflect the diverse cultures and dimensions of our society
- Enhance and animate our existing built and natural environments
- Provide destinations and way-finding milestones
- Express the intrinsic value of the arts to our institution and its mission
- Contribute to the public image of Virginia Tech and enhance its standing among peer universities
The Public and Visual Arts Council reviews proposals and makes recommendations to the president, executive vice president, and provost. The council is appointed by the executive vice president and provost and convened and led by the associate provost for the arts and includes campus representatives with experience in arts, architecture, design, and more.
