Murals add color and energy to public spaces and they can also be used to creatively solve problems.
At least, that’s the reasoning behind a new partnership between the College of Arts & Sciences’ exercise and sport science department and Arts Everywhere. The two groups collaborated to create a new mural for Carolina’s Fetzer Hall.
After repeatedly noticing that many building visitors were opting to use the elevator, now-alumna Jessica Szymczak ’20 thought that adding art to the space might encourage people to make the more active choice of taking the stairs.
After consulting with Lee Stoner, an assistant professor in exercise and sport science, and Darrell Kidd, the department’s utility and operations supervisor, Szymczak took the idea to the Arts Everywhere team, and a new partnership was born.
