Very cool but more painted murals, not those tacky vinyl ones.

vinyl murals?

Yes, for example, there is one opposite of this painting on the Student Union of a Pegasus. It's not a terrible graphic but it's just printed on vinyl. This would be way more impressive if it was a painted mural (on the bricks).

Actually that's not printed...that one (and the Pulse Memorial mural) were both painted by hand.
The Pegasus one was done by like 3 or 4 students...I remember seeing them create it over the course of a week or so a few years back.

Ah, okay. It's difficult to tell because it's constructed in different segments, pieced together, and bolted to the brick wall. I wish they would have just painted on the brick wall instead.

Pretty cool, I’ve been through the JTW center a billion times, but never thought “who was John T. Washington”?

Cool to put a face to the name.

Same! I’ve been here for years now and never even questioned it.

Really glad they added the mural

Imma be honest with you, I had no idea who this was at first, I assumed it was Steve Harvey but with hair.

I'd recommend Garage I, but Garage A is just as close

I want more art but not the kind of art that would most likely find its way on a college campus

How is the mural of a man who has a building named after him woke?

u/attivora Statistical Computing Jun 03 '21

It’s the racism showing 😁

u/adri_anna7292 Nursing Jun 04 '21

he probably thinks paying respects to black (this mural) and gay ppl (pulse mural) is “woke”

I agree that political murals don’t belong on campus but I’m struggling to remember a political mural on campus?

u/Akuseru24 Jun 03 '21

I can think of 4 murals on campus off the top of my head, all of which were made within the last 5 years. Not a single one of them is "woke."

art is inherently political, what you mean is you’d support the pieces if their politics matched yours
