‘We Are in the Business of Changing the World,’ by Joe Barrington and Tara Conley, is a sculpture in the south courtyard of the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University.

With the sun overhead, the stainless steel bull and bronze bear, commodity symbols, and sweeping steel archway feel even more striking, reflecting the energy, ambition and momentum of the business world.

‘Team Arrow,’ by Jack Stevens, is a bronze sculpture located at Midwestern State University, southwest of the Hardin Administration Building. The sculpture was presented by the Hotter’N Hell Hundred as a tribute to the MSU Texas cycling team and to celebrate the race’s 18th year and the turn of the millennia.

The Hotter’N Hell Hundred race is one of the oldest and largest cycling events in the nation. Today, the piece stands at the corner of Comanche Trail and Council Drive and celebrates the rich history of cycling in the Wichita Falls community.

‘Comma’ by Po Shu Wang, 2005

This sculpture blends art with science and encourages passersby to interact with it. The seven-foot stainless steel piece is a spherical resonator. By pushing the k**b attached to the sculpture, viewers can hear acoustical waves bouncing from one end to the other. This is created by the bronze bells inside the sphere that are tuned at slightly different pitches, one small interval apart. This musical acoustical phenomenon is known as “comma.”

We encourage you to stop at ‘Comma’ and make some noise!
