Situated throughout the Cal State Long Beach campus, the Art Park includes many historic works of art, including mosaics, murals, and outdoor sculpture. The original collection of nine outdoor sculptures began in 1965\u00a0with the California International Sculpture Symposium. Notably, this\u00a0was the first\u00a0event of its kind in the U.S. and the first-ever to be held on a college campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Spearheaded by former sculpture professor\u00a0Kenn\u00a0Glenn, the International Sculpture Symposium represents a\u00a0significant\u00a0multidisciplinary experiment through its integration of public art practice with\u00a0innovative\u00a0science\u00a0and industrial technology and production. Each artist\u00a0invited to participate in the Symposium was paired with an industrial sponsor that provided technological assistance in\u00a0the form of expertise, access to facilities, equipment, and materials.\u00a0Many of these collaborations inspired new industrial and artistic techniques.\u00a0This landmark collection is\u00a0incorporated into the campus\u00a0masterplan designed by architect Edward A.\u00a0Killingsworth.\u00a0Since the\u00a0Symposium, the Art Park has grown to\u00a0over 20\u00a0works.<\/p>\n

The University Student Union construction project has caused some changes to pedestrian flow across campus as well as the relocation of two Art Park sculptures. Please contact us for the most recent Art Park map.<\/p>\n
