SVA Welcome Center Mural

SVA commissioned designer Pablo Delcan to create an environmental graphic for the college’s Welcome Center. The center houses many of the college’s administrative departments, including Admissions. It’s a place where both prospective and current students visit, and the content of the artwork reflects that. Dozens of students, alumni, teachers, administrators, and others were asked to complete the phrase “Art is ___.” The results were arranged on a vinyl adhesive 8 feet, 9 inches high by 24 feet, 5 inches wide and installed on an interior wall of the center. The results are a whimsy of words and symbols offering inspiration to passersby.
