A special call to Hite students and alumni for mural design proposals:

The University of Louisville is inviting artists to submit proposals for two murals within the expanded Student Activities Center. We are requesting proposals from the creative minds who know us best: our students and alumni. In doing so, we hope to highlight the talent and creativity of our students and alumni working within the fields of art and design and bolster ties to the community. If designed by our students and alumni, then the murals become an interesting talking point for our tour guides and the media. Our hope is the campus visit area in the SAC becomes one of UofL’s most unique and often-photographed spots on campus, while also contributing to our city’s public art offerings.

We welcome your submissions!

The University of Louisville
