We’re getting ready in the Art Building to welcome our students back to campus! 🎨🔥
The studios are coming to life, the kilns are getting some attention, and we’re excited for another year of making, experimenting, and creating together.
Pictured: one of our senior Art majors helping get one of the kilns ready for the semester.
Welcome back, Mavericks! We can’t wait to see what you make. ❤️💛

Art is bringing our community together!
Colorado Mesa University Assistant Professor of Art & Design Crystal Wagner and her fiance Logan are leading a vibrant new community mural at the Mesa Community Center, transforming a shared space into a work of art that reflects the creativity, identity, and spirit of Mesa.
This collaborative project welcomes community members to be part of the process, celebrating the power of public art to connect people and create a lasting sense of place.
If you’re in the area, stop by, say hello, and watch the mural come to life. All are welcome starting at 3pm everyday through Aug. 2nd! We can’t wait to share the finished work with you!
Big thank you to some of the FLARE students for showing up!
