AUs First Mural

Our first mural can now be considered finished. thanks to all who participated in it. We'd like to make a plaque for it, which the metal for it would have to come from our budget or if members have any heavy aluminum then that would be awesome because then we just put in the work for it and no money. this is the image of the finished mural. some more touch ups can be done if members want to touch up somewhere...but it is considered finished. Our next mural will be the LAC logo. we will also begin on it on friday to prepare the wall and draw out the layout of it and paint it on saturday.

Artists Unanimous will be hosting a Seminar about Art Careers October 15th during the activity period from 12 to 1. This seminar will replace our regular meeting and will be open to the public.

Please make plans to attend and invite other people. This is a great opportunity to get to know what different career paths within Art that you could work for. The presentation will be conducted by the University Career Services.
