On May 23, guests walked with Executive Director Alison Weaver as she led a tour of select public artwork found at Rice University. The evening started with complimentary drinks at the Moody Center for the Arts and concluded at the James Turrell Twilight Epiphany Skyspace where guests could view the sunset light sequence.

This evening stroll included indoor and outdoor stops that highlighted the exceptional permanent and temporary artworks found throughout campus. Spotlighting sculptural work on the southwest side of the university, guests could gain insight into the art of Mark di Suvero, Beverly Pepper, and Jaume Plensa. Mural installations by Preetika Rajgariah, Kenneth Tam, and Sarah Welch were also featured. The tour provided access to works at the Jones Graduate School of Business including the artwork of Rana Begum, Marta Chilindron, Jose Dávila, Spencer Finch, Beverly Fishman, Carmen Herrera, Kate Shepherd, and Pae White.

Guests should wear comfortable shoes and plan on being outdoors for the majority of the event. All artwork is accessible outside or on the building’s first floor. If mobility assistance is needed, please contact us.
