Itâs a frequent sight downtown to see Auburn University students close to graduation donning their caps and gowns for a photo shoot in front of the War Eagle mural on South College Street across from Samford Park. Itâs even become something of a tradition.Â
Auburn graduates and residents may soon get the opportunity to take selfies or photos in front of other murals as well, as the city of Auburn has been busy working toward laying the foundation for the creation of a public art program that would address everything from murals to sculptures, establish a Public Art Commission and look to liven up some of the buildings around town.
