Bringing Wynwood to campus

Wynwood is an art district of Miami that has become synonymous with artistically painted walls. Not a surface is left uncovered by art. Looking around campus at the new and old construction, the art club got itchy to add some designs. We painted rocks, banners for the gym, and then this spring we christened the baseball dugout with our own geometric school color design. Three designs were submitted to the athletic department, and this is the one that won out over the other two.
Natali and Michi with the vision
Angel (really!) in the Maintenance Department prepared the wall for us. We took 3 hours and 7 rolls of tape to prep before being able to paint!

This is the third student mural I have facilitated in my 8 years at Palmer. It brings me greatjoy to see the ownership and pride that develops in the students as they showcase their talents to the campus in a big way. I barely lifted a finger, except to hand them some pizza!
We painted through a home game and removed all the tape after 7 hours of work!
