Isle of View Renovation
“Isle is a focal point, a major work by a major, internationally acclaimed artist, at the heart of the campus,” says University Gallery director Loretta Yarlow. “After restoration, we envision it being used for poetry readings, music and dance performances, incorporated into public, self-guided tours of the ‘museum without walls,’ the art and sculptures around the campus, and integrated into the art-history curriculum.”
