W21 Floor Mural Project: June 2008

Detail and full room shots of the finished mural.

Many thanks to Sarcon, who volunteered their time to clean the floor before the sealant went on. Love you guys!

How did this project happen?

W21 wanted to collaborate with other Santa Fe arts institutions, and College of Santa Fe art department chair, Kim Russo, recognized that as an excellent opportunity for students to get involved in the community. Together, they decided that CSF students would design and paint a floor mural for the concert hall space at the new W21 building, located right behind SITE Santa Fe.

Students in two College of Santa Fe (CSF) classes, Experimental Painting (taught by Professor Kim Russo) and Typography (Professor David Grey), created seven mural designs for the Warehouse 21 (W21) new concert space floor. Working in small, collaborative groups, CSF students created seven designs and voted on the best two. The two winning designs were presented to the W21 board of trustees and staff members, who chose the Chemistry Set design as the winner. Then over the course of 6 weeks, students in both classes painted the design on the floor.

Congratulations to the winning design team!
