Numerous galleries and exhibition spaces provide opportunities for art appreciation and critique. These pieces and venues, and many more, find their homes throughout the cohesive fabric of patterned brick that makes up RIT's unique campus.

Sentinel
edited by James YarringtonPrice: $35.99
Albert Paley's Sentinel has transformed the face of RIT: a dramatic focal point in the heart of campus, at the crossroads for all RIT community activity. As the largest sculpture at any American university, its presence, while inciting both admiration and debate, perhaps best represents an academic institution's highest ideal: the ability to foster and freely express a creative idea. This important sculpture is now the subject of a book by RIT Cary Graphic Arts Press.
