We encourage students to engage in the arts by participating in our programs in art, music and theatre and by experiencing permanent exhibits such as USF SculptureWalk. So enjoy! Allow your spirit to be rejuvenated and your senses to be awakened as you take in the thought-provoking sculptures and absorb the colors of campus.

Rapturous Arcs by Gregory Mendez

Tundra by Virginia Sperry
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
The lines are smooth and fluid presenting beauty and grace. Each line is apparent and with each new angle movement and impressions are experienced through the eyes of the observer.
The musk ox is solid yet funny looking, as if pieces from other animals were used to create it. With all the fur it has, it will have no problem surviving the South Dakota winter.

The Plunge by Deb Zeller

The Nest by Virginia Sperry
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Stop waiting. Take “The Plunge” and make your dreams come true.
We are all vessels with a wealth of “stuff” inside, some hidden, some in plain view. Even the things we think are hidden are really in plain sight if someone takes the time to look carefully.

All in the Same Boat by Kyle Fokken
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
The beauty of knowledge can turn to misery.
The clean buildings, houses and topside landscape contrast the dirty, rusty hull of the ship. This sculpture illustrates the need to change our thinking about pollution and fossil fuels and work together.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
This man, taking part in a tea ceremony, is part of a series of pieces having to do with Asian countries and cultures.
The animals represent the 12 Zodiac years found in the Chinese and Japanese calendars, though some have been replaced with familiar southwestern animals.

11 Friendship Knot 2 by Yupine P.
African Beauty by Felix Ehis
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
An African woman is naturally beautiful even in her simplest form without using cosmetics or jewelry. She has a unique face that distinguishes her.

Waldgeist by Lee Badger
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
This is an abstract of a mythological forest spirit formed from swirling leaves and twigs. Ghostly figures, phantoms of the woods, are recognized in myths and legends worldwide. 1101 W 22nd St, Sioux Falls, SD 57105 800-888-1047 || 605-331-5000 || usiouxfalls.edu

A single knot can symbolize peace. Peace comes from a Thai word “Puk-Mai-Tri,” which means bonding relationships between people, cultures and countries.

Are the figures lined up to win something, to get a job or to meet someone? Are they anxious, bored or impatient? You decide and create a story that reflects your life experiences.

Permanent Art Pieces on the USF Campus

Cougar by Doug Baer ‘67
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Doug Baer, a 1967 graduate of Sioux Falls College, created this sculpture to represent a larger-than-life mascot for the school. “To me, a wildlife animal isn’t a zoo study,” he says. “Photo realism is just a rendering like a camera. To me when I’m around wildlife, they’re on the move. They’re looking, listening or adjusting.”
C
Science by Alan Newberg ‘66
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
President Reuben Jeschke (1953-1970) and science professor Dr. John Butler (1963-1974) commissioned Sioux Falls College senior Alan Newberg to complete a monumental sculpture to commemorate the dedication of the Salsbury Science Center in 1967. The corten steel sculpture involves three vanes representing physics, chemistry and biology; these vanes are connected by a central ring that structurally and symbolically unites them.

Cross Section by Paul T. Granlund
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
This sculpture, commissioned in memory of Joseph E. Salsbury, was presented to Sioux Falls College by John and Doris Salsbury. Granlund says, “Space shapes intersect the prisms to form a composite cross of geometric masses and shapes. Christ is invisible on this cross; in His place are two human figures.”

The Whole Way. The University of Sioux Falls is a community that caters to “the whole person.” We believe in providing students with a well-rounded, Christian experience that’s more than academics or athletics or fine arts. Here students learn the value of serving others. They grow in new directions. They are challenged. To us, The Whole Way is the reason the USF campus feels like home. It’s why students love their professors. It’s why freshmen don’t get lost in the crowd. The Whole Way is our way.

Velez had no formal training in art, just a drive, a love of his faith and a sense of adventure. He draws his ideas and creativity from nature. Wildlife and the human figure are his favorite subjects. “God has created the human body, and it is interesting with its muscles and movements. The main thing is to capture the moment and make it lifelike.”
