Location: Cohen Student Union & Sugden Hall Thoroughfare 

Faculty: Hannah Harley, Assistant Professor of Art and Community Engagement and Stephen Cavitt, Instructor II, Language and Literature

The FGCU Art Galleries is partnering with the Art Program and the Language and Literature Department, 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 various fields such as social and natural sciences, health, law, business, and athletics. To learn more visit fgcu.edu/cas/creativeconnections/
