The FGCU Art Galleries is partnering with Art and Language and Literature, to create a hybrid visual art and creative writing site-specific outdoor public exhibition. Under the guidance of their professors, this exhibition features the coursework of FGCU students from Introduction to Nature Writing and Art and Community Engagement.
As the arts become increasingly integrated throughout campus, these cross curricular
efforts promote increased collaboration between students. The end result of the project is a large-scale multi panel mural on display
in the highly visible walkway between the Cohen Student Union & Sugden Hall leading
the way to Parking Garage 1.
The College of Arts & Sciences is dedicated to strengthening connections between creative disciplines—Art, Music, Theatre, and Writing—and fields such as social and natural sciences, health, law, business, and athletics. To learn more visit www.fgcu.edu/cas/creativeconnections/
