For nine years, the SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival has added creativity, vibrancy and color to the city鈥檚 landscape. The festival brings together a collection of artists to paint diverse murals on buildings and streets to showcase the power of art in revitalizing public spaces and creating dialogue. For the third time, 深夜看片 St. Petersburg was one of the festival's sites.
Jay Giroux, a visiting faculty member in USF鈥檚 Graphic Arts Program, and 10 Graphic Design students painted a street mural at the intersection of 2nd Street and 6th Avenue South outside of the University Student Center. Titled 鈥淔luid Structures,鈥� the mural melds geometric figures with an imaginative marine ecosystem setting to evoke the allure of the oceans.
The project was sponsored by David and Rebecca Ramsey.
