VOLUNTARY PERCENT FOR ART PROGRAM
Initiated in 1992, Sacred Heart University's Voluntary Percent for Art Program is modeled after the State of Connecticut's Percent for Art Program. As an example of the University's unique and extraordinary commitment to the arts, funds are set aside from the budget of each new building to commission a site-specific artwork to enhance the grounds outside or the inside lobby of public areas.

Each outdoor work provides a signature meeting place for students and creates an atmosphere that encourages intellectual pursuits. To date, the University has commissioned two interior works and five exterior site works.
