Students’ graffiti raises money

Hundreds of students gathered to tag up a graffiti wall the MTSU Student Programming Fine Arts Committee constructed in front of the Keathley University Center last Wednesday.

“We are funded by the student body,” said Will Cameron, a sophomore photography major. “We wanted to host this promotional event to get students, especially new ones, involved.”

The committee built the wall and provided spray paint for any students who wanted to make donations in order to paint on it.

“People could give donations of whatever they wanted,” said Alison Ford, a freshman digital animation and studio art major. “We probably saw over 100 students come and [contribute] to the wall.”

Along with the student wall, the committee also created a wall and had professional artists from WorkForce Rebellion paint it. DJ Kidsmeal provided music while the event took place.

“WorkForce Rebellion is a crew from Nashville that does murals all over the city, as well as Rocketown and other exhibitions,” Cameron said.

Cameron said they are planning on putting up sections of the professional wall in the KUC lounge for display and will eventually put them up for auction and give the money to charity.
