The UW has gone mad, although not in a disorderly chaos kind-of-way. Instead, the grounds have been overtaken by Mad Campus, an art exhibit comprised of site-specificworks.

The 'Seattle Sketcher' captures the Mad Campus exhibit at the UW Seattle Campus, which is up through Oct. 25.

There's no better time to take in the beauty of the UW campus than now. MadArt, which brings the work of local artists to public spaces, has organized a vibrant campus-wide outdoor art exhibit that runs through October 25.

MadArt creates a spectacle with a dozen art installations on campus through October 25.

If you have ever needed a compelling reason to explore the UW campus, now is the time. Until Oct. 25, 12 works of art are on display in a project called Mad Campus.

If you happen to see a 28-foot cowboy looming over the campus at the University of Washington, never fear. He's a big softy! The "Lone Stranger" is the largest of 12 works that make up Mad Campus.

The free outdoor MadArt exhibit on the UW campus lets children climb on, walk through or lie under many of the pieces- and even add to one of them.
