Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition Enhances Campus
Through a special project grant from the St. Louis Community College Foundation, the exterior of the Wildwood campus now features an outdoor art exhibition of five unique sculptures on loan from professional artists which will change on a yearly basis. The first group of sculptures was installed in June 2010 and features pieces made of clay, bronze, granite, iron and steel and mixed media. The rotating nature of the exhibit is designed to give students the opportunity to view different examples of artwork on campus for evaluation and inspiration, and to explore the concepts of public art, outdoor sculpture, and the interaction of the environment and the aesthetic to the campus in a dynamic environment. The artwork is located in five different areas on campus, each selected for its appropriateness to the sculpture by the individual artists.

Ceramics Classes Now Available at the Art Annex
In January 2010, the Wildwood campus expanded its course offerings to include ceramic classes that are held at the Art Annex located within walking distance of the main building in the shopping center on New College Avenue. Course offerings include day and evening options and classes for credit and through Continuing Education. To check on availability of courses, please refer to the online Course Schedule.

Extracurricular Activities Plentiful at Wildwood
