Visual Arts Complex Mural project
You are invited to join us in celebrating our diversity
Join us Feb. 1 at noon for a meal on the lower level of the VAC; hear a story or share a story.
In the interest of continuing our expression of diversity that was started with the Black Lives Matter window installation at the Visual Arts Complex, we are creating a mural for the interior of the building. We would love for you to come and share ideas for the creation of this inclusive artwork that reflects all of our beautiful differences.
All are welcome! No art experience is required. If you are interested in being a part of the project,
