In addition to the two columns, some students chose to put hidden "easter egg" images throughout the main floor of the library. There are seven total - can you find them all?
From neolithic cave paintings to modern murals and sculpture, art in public spaces has tremendous power to tell a story, evoke emotions, and to create a sense of shared belonging. For this FIRE week experience, director of the library Dr. Amanda McLellan and art professor Gypsy Schindler partnered to lead a group of 10 students on tours of public art in Springfield, Cincinnati, and Yellow Springs, and design and create a mural in Thomas Library.
This page documents the trips and pictures of the murals, and you will find artist statements from each student included in the left navigation.
