The former auto depot at Boise State University has a decidedly new look and feel these days as the Benjamin Victor Gallery, which also is a working art studio. It’s where Professor of Practice Victor creates bronze and clay sculpture, employs student assistants, develops hands-on learning opportunities that will deepen BSU’s already rich art department and runs a gallery filled with his and other artists’ work.

The 7,500-square-foot gallery is one of its kind in the country — an interactive space where students can learn from a living master and the general public is welcome to peruse towering nine-foot-tall bronze and marble sculptures and larger-than-life busts, as well as works in progress and at least 15 priceless clay originals from which bronze versions of Victor’s most famous sculptures are cast.

He has since been named an Artist in Residence and Professor of the Practice at Boise State and has moved to Boise.

His most recent work has been installed on the campus of Boise State University — a 9-foot bronze statue of Steve Appleton. The likeness of Appleton stands, hand reaching out, in the courtyard on the east side of the Micron Business and Economics Building.
