The Greg and Fay Wyatt Sculpture Garden
Located in the courtyard between Maxwell Library and the student union is the Greg and Fay Wyatt Sculpture Garden. Along with a large sculpture of ballet legend and actor Mikhail Baryshnikov are 15 bas reliefs devoted to poets and their relationships to dance, and four ancient river goddesses.
Three species of trees, River Birch, Moonglow Magnolia and American Yellowwood, have been planted in the garden, each selected for its texture and, in some cases, close affiliation to what is depicted in Mr. Wyatt鈥檚 sculptures. With its mix of art, literature and nature, the garden provides a thoughtful oasis at the heart of campus.
