Ready! Set! Paint! Graffiti stations will be set up on the Union Mall to allow students to create graffiti art. A professional graffiti artist will be present to give students tip and create his own painting. Students can sign up in advance for a guaranteed spot or walk up and participate if there is a spot open. Students walking by can watch the participants and artist create their pieces while music plays in the background. Students will be able to vote on the various pieces created by their peers, and the winners get prizes.
