HSI Mural Project Forums
The mural will be created by & for students in the Fall 2023 class, ART 91 Public Art: Painting & Mural, under the expert guidance of special guest muralist & artist-in-residence Guillermo “Yermo” Aranda (Santa Cruz County’s 2021 Artist of the Year!), assisted by art associate faculty member Danielle Torvik-Staffen, the instructor of record.
Students of the class will jointly develop a mural concept, complete color studies using watercolors and/or acrylics, prepare a canvas, & paint the mural in VAPA 2020. The canvas will then be removed from the studio & remounted in place in the College cafeteria in Aptos.

Guillermo “Yermo” Aranda (Santa Cruz County’s 2021 Artist of the Year) will host a community forum on the Aptos campus to explain more about this exciting project, & to dialog with the community to hear your ideas about what imagery you would like to see in the mural.
