Another University of Toledo installation is The Noble Horse, located behind Rocket Hall. Made of woven and welded steel by Peter Busby in 1999, these 11-foot tall horses stand naturally, as if they are actually grazing the campus in real life. Busby’s intention was to have these horses represent the indigenous horses that inhabit the region.
Building Momentum, 2014, Young Artists at Work
This colorful mural adorning the side of the Arts Commission building, located at 1838 Parkwood Avenue across the street from the Toledo Museum of Art, was painted by apprentices in the Young Artists at Work Program. The girl in the center of the mural is a representation of freedom, self-pride and playfulness. The 4-story mural celebrates the completion of the YAAW’s 20th program year.
Ruth
Located at the Toledo Botanical Gardens in front of the Environmental Education Building, this half a century old (52-years to be exact) sculpture is one of the landmarks of the gardens. Designed and made by Leonard “Ernie” Moll in 1962, Ruth is comprised of welded scrap metal, flaking paint and rust.
Lifelyte
University of Toledo’s Wolfe Hall is home to Lifelyte, a stunning neon glass installation created by Ohio native Carol Adams in 1999. The handful of DNA shaped glass light up the halls with a colorful neon glow. Wolfe Hall is the perfect choice for Lifelyte, seeing as it is home to the Department of Biology and Chemistry.
