ODU Libraries encourage Monarchs to add their mark to the mural titled Aquatic Archive! Participants may head over to ODU’s Hixon Art Studio Building to help paint parts of the mural, which is simplified into paint by number sections for ease and engagement. Installation of the mural will begin this summer in the east academic lounge of Perry Library, featuring the artistic direction of Dr. Natalia Pilato from ODU’s Department of Art and her students in ART 495/HUM 595.

Aquatic Archive supports the University’s annual campus theme "Blue Connections.” Notably, the mural aims to address the past, present, and future of coastal life in and around Norfolk through arts-based research, providing a solution-focused approach that fosters collective responsibility for the preservation and sustainable management of our waterways.
