News @ Northeastern: Joe O’Connell – Permission to paint on the wall.
Northeastern University, College of Arts, Media & Design, Ryder Hall Lobby.
Painting on a finished wall is typically discouraged. But for College of Arts, Media and Design lecturer Sophia Ainslie and a group of her students who are using paint to enhance one popular campus space, it’s highly encouraged.
Ainslie, a painter represented by Gallery Naga, was commissioned to create the newest installment in Northeastern’s Public Art Initiative—a mural in the lobby of Ryder Hall titled “In Person.”
