What is the Camustown Mural Project?
The Ames C.art Mural Project began as an initiative by the Campustown Student Association in the Spring of 2009. The owner of T-Galaxy agreed to the mural’s proposed location on the T-Galaxy building’s north wall. In September of 2009, Ames Collaborative Art (Ames C.art) accepted the invitation by the Campustown Student Association to coordinate and actualize the Campustown Mural Project as the initiation of the Ames C.art Mural Program.
This collaborative mural project is an entirely volunteer-driven effort intended to bring different populations of the Ames community together: school age children, college students, university staff, city residents, and local artists. The joining together of different aspects of the community to create a piece of public art which everyone can enjoy will encourage pride in and celebration of the Ames community, while also promoting the Ames C.art message that everyone can make art to share and enjoy.
