Over the next few weeks, the smokestack near our facilities building—which can be seen from across campus—is being invigorated with a rather unique fresh coat of paint. View the live stream to track progress.
Brooklyn-based muralist Katie Merz is serving as an artist-in-residence at Ursinus College until September 24 and has just begun transforming the smokestack into a dynamic mural that tells our students’ stories. Over the summer, members of the Ursinus community, including the Class of 2020, shared their Ursinus memories and aspirations with Katie, who is turning those words into iconography that will become a permanent fixture on our campus and serve as an enduring tribute to the Ursinus experience.
