Project
We are looking for mural proposals for TC3’s Student Center main lounge... a high-traffic space where students gather, study, and connect. This is a full mural makeover of a unique nook with multiple walls (and ceiling!), where students will be able to walk into and experience the mural. ✨ We invite you to create something 🌿 welcoming, 🎨 inspiring, and 🌈 unforgettable… 👉 and transform the space, bringing your vision to life.
