Take an Art Walk with Your Student

Murals and sculptures offer plenty of photo opps around campus
October 25, 2022

We love to support the arts, and as new murals and sculptures pop up around campus and town, we like to share new experiences and photo opportunities for you and your student.

Grab your phone (or camera) and snap some selfies at some new iconic spots. And don’t forget to tag us at #uwstoutpics.

Menomonie murals include the nearly 400-square-foot painting depicting art through the ages on Applied Arts Building’s east loading dock wall. Art lovers can also view:

The Menomonie Sculpture Tour, presented by Explore Menomonie, features six sculptures throughout the city. Explore Menomonie worked with the Sculpture Tour of Eau Claire, part of the largest sculpture tour in the nation, to secure the artwork. The sculptures are:
