The Mural Brigade
Started and sustained as an interdisciplinary project with the University Curator, Don Russell, Murals at Mason was founded by a student majoring in government and subsequently led by student majoring in social justice. Murals at Mason began as a student organization, the “Mural Brigade”, that gave student artists opportunities to collectively design and produce interior murals commissioned by departments on campus.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Murals at Mason now mentors artists through the mural-making process for on- and off-campus clients, in addition to commissioning professional murals on-campus and locally. There are ongoing opportunities for students studying art, social justice, non-profit management, business, and more, to earn valuable skills with Murals at Mason.
