Most of the collection can be viewed during KCC’s hours of operation. It includes artists such as Martin Hubbard, Kate Demke, Shuichi Murakami, Eleanor DeVries, Lily Hunter, Dee Seymour and Kay Randel. Much of the art represented in the collection comes from KCC faculty, staff and students and other regional artists. Sculpture Initiative KCC Foundation’s Art on Campus Sculpture Initiative features permanent and loaned works of art installed at various locations on the College’s North Avenue campus and at the Regional Manufacturing Training Center.
