In 2025 to celebrate the University of Wisconsin – Stout Polytechnic’s School Of Art and Design turning 60, myself, designer Taylor Schumman, and Design Lead Kristen Protheroe set out to create a mural for the public to take part in at the event.

The mural was split into three 4′ x 8′ sheets, and given guidelines for colors to be filled in by the public attending the SOAD 60th Anniversary Event.
