The outer automorphism group Out(F2g) of a free group on 2g generators naturally contains the mapping class group of a punctured genus g surface Sg,1 as a subgroup. We define a ‘subsurface projection’ of the sphere complex of the connected sum of n copies of S1×S2 into the arc complex of Sg,1 . Using this, we show that Map(Sg,1) is a Lipschitz retract of Out(F2g) . We use another ‘subsurface projection’ to give a simple proof of a result of Handel and Mosher [‘Lipschitz retraction and distortion for subgroups of Out(Fn) ’, Geom. Topol. 17 (2013) 1535–1580] stating that stabilizers of conjugacy classes of free splittings and corank 1 free factors in a free group Fn are Lipschitz retracts of Out(Fn) .
