A variety of artwork decorates the UIndy campus through the campus sculpture walk. Sponsored by Fifth Third Bank, the free outdoor art exhibition features work by artists from around the country. Sculptures vary greatly in size, style and subject, and most were chosen for inclusion through the Fifth Third Bank Campus Sculpture Walk Competition.

Artist Mike Baur is best known for his architectural scale concrete and steel public sculptures, but is also prolific in smaller scale works, exploiting any and all available materials he can work with his hands. After graduating with a BFA from Arkansas State University in 1973, he attended the University of Illinois Graduate School in Sculpture (MFA’75). While in his first year at Urbana Mike switched from fiberglass to concrete after losing several large pieces in a tornado. In 1974, he won an international competition to build a 200-ton concrete sculpture in Barcelona, Spain.
