The Unity Mural project brings students and faculty from Bowie State University and University of Maryland College Park together to create a mural that takes a stand against divisiveness and reflects upon themes of peace, justice and unity.  This collaboration presents an opportunity for the students to spark a dialogue and call to action for our community.

NextNOW Fest attendees are invited to contribute their artistic talents to the mural. When it is completed, two panels will find a permanent home at each university, with the hope that community building and healing through art and creative expression can foster joint stewardship of the relationships between campuses within the University System of Maryland.
