This guidebook is designed to introduce you to the works of art in The Public Art Collective. You will find information about the works and artists, along with a brief discussion of details such as subject matter, style, and context. We hope this introduction will inspire deeper appreciation as you explore, observe, and interpret the art for yourself.

The map is a supplement to the maps on pages XI and XV in the guidebook and will help you locate the works of art. The map includes works in The Public Art Collective located on Ferris State University's campus and in the city of Big Rapids.
