(Arts on Campus continued)

The increased interest in art at Sterling College is evident throughout campus. Arts at Sterling College go well beyond the classroom. From sidewalk chalk to acrylics, students are actively leaving their artistic mark on campus. For example, a small bathroom window in Simpson Hall, originally with no view to the outside, is adorned with Black Capped Chickadees frolicking on northern hardwood tree branches in a bright blue sky. The walls of a campus phone booth crowded with old names, phone numbers, and messages from over the years have been restored to a welcoming mural of a tree complete with brightly colored leaves painted in a stylistic way that resembles a stained glass window. Its vibrant color is inviting and adds a sense of comfort and visual flavor to the small phone booth.
