Students, sign up to collaborate with a local artist on a mural for Pitt’s Hillman Library

The University of Pittsburgh Library System (ULS) is seeking student participants who will help create a collaborative mural to celebrate the completion of Hillman Library’s multiyear renovation, slated for 2025.

ULS is seeking up to eight students to join local artist Alison Zapata in designing and creating this unique mural that will celebrate the rich diversity of textual and visual communication through history and cultures.

Participating students are expected to attend 10 work sessions with Zapata, starting in late February. The opportunity to participate is open to all Pitt students, and selected participants will receive an honorarium.

Applications are due Jan. 21.
