Paws for Public Art

Landmarks' Paws for Public Art, an annual wellness event that pairs works of art and animals to offer mental health breaks, returns to campus this spring. The program brings miniature goats, hedgehogs, bunnies, chicks, and other animals to campus, with petting zoos stationed at four iconic works from Landmarks’ collection.

The program will highlight the ways in which mental health breaks with art and animals can alleviate stress and will be especially helpful to students as they prepare for mid-term exams. The event is free and open to both campus and the broader community.

Petting Zoo locations include:

Mark di Suvero, Clock Knot
Nancy Rubins', Monochrome for Austin
Sol LeWitt, Circle with Towers
Joel Perlman, Square Tilt
