Free Art Wall - Temporary

A temporary "free art wall" was erected next to Red Square--a highly traffic'd area on campus--so that students, staff, and really just anyone could write or draw whatever they'd like. The blue tarp was to protect the grass, and from what I know, the spray cans were donated by students.
