Calling All Baylor Artists! Paint Murals at the Baylor Community Garden
With support from Student Government, and in collaboration with Environmental Humanities and Creative Waco, the Baylor Community Garden invites proposals from student artists and organizations to contribute to an exciting mural painting project! This initiative is a unique opportunity to transform four raised garden beds and a garden shed into vibrant works of art that celebrate community flourishing, sustainability, and interdisciplinary connections.
This is your chance to leave an artistic fingerprint on campus. Join us in bringing color, creativity, and meaning to a shared space that promotes growth in every sense.
Applications are open! Gather your team of 3-10, submit your design, and be part of a public art installation that inspires and unites.
