CCAD Students Create Interactive ‘Mario’ Mural [street art]

A team of students at the Columbus College of Art & Design painted a mural of Super Marios Bros, and it really is super:

The interactive mural is 16 feet tall, 38 feet wide and took 12 students 8 days to create. It is visible on CCAD’s administration building located at 107 N. Ninth Street for the month of September.

CCAD student and fellow painter Ken Aschliman says the mural was created to advertise CCAD’s inaugural Town Hall meeting. CCAD’s student government group says the Town Hall meeting will be the first of many events where students can voice their concerns and have questions answered.

The student painters include Aschliman, Chavilah Bennett, Jennifer Sands, Michael Smith, Dion Utt, Walker Crane, Greg Reyes, Dillon Sirimongkhon, Alex Trimpe, Pallavi Sen, Jessica Braunschweiger and Emily Rickard.

Students and groups can propose to paint a new mural every month to be placed on the mural wall.
