In the spring of 2022, Central Piedmont Community College selected two former students and local artists, Rosalia Torres-Weiner and Felicia Sky Sutton, to create a large-scale mural honoring the past history of the college, documenting the present, and reflecting the aspirations of Central Piedmont students for the future.
In celebration of the completion of the mural project, Central Piedmont will host a panel discussion March 22 with the muralists and technical executive, to share their experience, inspiration, and process creating the mural.
The panel discussion is open to all Central Piedmont students, employees, and members of the community. We invite all attendees to join us after the discussion for a reception in the lobby of the Parr Center Theater.
- March 22 at 3 p.m.
- Central Piedmont Central Campus, Parr Center Theater
- Reception to follow in the lobby of the Parr Center Theater, immediately after the discussion
Visitors to the mural can enjoy the added element of augmented reality (AR) built into the murals metadata. The RedCalacAR app, available for IOS and Android devices, allows the viewer interact with the mural through the power of technology. The AR design provides the viewer with the opportunity to enjoy various animations, listen to student stories, songs and poetry and learn more about the history of Central Piedmont.
Torres-Weiner and Sutton are both former Central Piedmont students, and were chosen from a highly skilled pool of applicants to work collaboratively with current students, faculty, and staff to create an interactive mural. Learn more about the artists.
