Mural of the World

Join the Department of Student Life for this one time only event!

What is this event?

Join us on January 27 & 28 to be a part of this exciting event! We will be painting two Akron based murals as a group. Once the murals are completed one will go on display in Washington D.C. alongside all the other Mural of the World paintings. The second mural will be on display here at UA on the third floor of the Union outside the ballrooms.

How can I help paint?

Just stop by the Student Union 2nd floor on Tuesday, January 27 or Wednesday, January 28 from 10am-2pm or 4-6pm. A member of the Department of Student Life staff and the artist, Doug Arnholter, will assist you in adding to the mural!

What if I’m not an artist?

Not a skilled artist? No problem! The murals are paint by number based so everyone can take part.

What is “Mural of the World”?

A global project where communities, companies and organizations share in creating an immense public work of art – one painting at a time. The Mural of the World gives beautiful physical form to the synergy of hundreds of thousands of individuals working together to produce a “traveling mural” that will be displayed at public gatherings, shows, fairs and events worldwide. When enough paintings are created, the mural will be displayed at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
