The mural was created by U-M students in Mark Tucker’s Art in Public Spaces course. It was painted based on designs the students -- most of whom are not art majors -- made using hundreds of collaged images.

The mural on canvas is wall-sized and was painted off-site. Its permanent installation will be on view at a later date on the sixth floor of Palmer Commons.

Palmer Commons is located at 100 Washtenaw Ave.

Tucker formerly taught a course on making giant papier-mâché puppets which were put on display each year at the FestiFools parade in downtown Ann Arbor.
