Official guide to the Texas Tech University System’s public art collection

Your official guide to the Texas Tech University System’s public art collection!

The Public Art Program at the Texas Tech University System was initiated by the Board of Regents in 1998 to enrich the campus environments and extend the educational mission at all of its universities. Through the program, public artworks are funded using 1% of the estimated total cost of each new major capital project. Since then, more than 100 items created by some of today’s leading artists have been added to the TTU System’s multiple campuses.

With this app you can:

• Discover art nearby, utilizing your location services

• Create maps that will guide you to different artworks in the collection, whether traveling by foot, bike, or car

• View art using themed tours created in the app, or create your own tours.

• Favorite your pieces within the app so you can visit again and share with your friends.

• Play a “Da Vinci Code” style game to find art and challenge your friends to beat your time

• Utilize social media to post photos and comment on art that you visit

• Learn more about the art through videos of the artists themselves speaking about their work.

Planning your visit to the collection? You can still utilize the app when you are not on one of the TTUS campuses to look at pieces within the TTU System. Select pieces from the list to view in more detail and find their location to aid in your visit when you are nearby and would like to see them in person.
