Sculpture for All is a joint partnership project that brings together faculty, staff and students from the SFA School of Art and the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture's SFA Gardens. This endeavor seeks to expose SFA students and faculty members to art they might not otherwise see while bringing national recognition and publicity to SFA. Sculpture For All plays a vital part in fulfilling the university's mission of excellence in teaching, research, scholarship, creative work and service by creating new learning opportunities, as well as aiding in recruitment of both students and faculty members.
