The Columbia City of Women Unveils Female Monument

(09/30/21 12:00pm)

(09/19/21 12:00pm)

The black columns, bunted American flags in the windows and a vertical T-A-T-T-O-O sign are welcoming and recognizable as a shop steeped in tradition. Inside, I was greeted with a wall covered with painted flash sheets and comfortable couches.

Even though students on campus have begun getting vaccinated, not every student is jumping in line to get their shot next. However, some are committed to getting involved in the vaccination process.

Art for the People: 5 Local Murals and the Artists Behind Them

(06/11/21 12:00pm)

Murals are a unique art form. They're intrinsically public, must work with the given architecture and are inherently community-oriented. While they are not often treated with the same legitimacy as studio or gallery work, murals can be a vital part of cultural enrichment for a local community. Art seldom exists in a vacuum, but rather is surrounded by stories just waiting to be told.
