A new mural was installed in the corridor leading to the Athletic Academic Resource Center (AARC), the large-scale mural showcases all UCA athletic programs in a cohesive, visually striking design. Painted in the university’s signature purple and gray, the artwork not only reinforces school spirit but also highlights the diversity and unity of UCA’s athletic community.
The mural was designed and painted by Lindsey Witting Barnum, marketing content designer and strategist for the Office of Strategic Communications. Created entirely by hand, it was shaped by artistic vision and strategic messaging.
The project was a collaborative effort between Strategic Communications and the AARC, driven by student feedback calling for more public art and a stronger representation of student-athletes on campus. Please read more and explore photos on our website.
