Kentucky Wesleyan College’s Class of 2024 announced plans for its Senior Class Gift in March. This year, the graduating seniors will be gifting a historic mural created by KWC alumnus and local artist K.O. Lewis ’08. The mural will be located on the first-floor lobby inside the Barnard-Jones Administration Building.
The soon-to-be alumni have been hard at work developing the mural concept and raising the funds needed since the fall semester. They are approximately $1,500 away from their goal and are looking to their community to help them cross the finish line. Those interested in supporting the project can make a financial gift to the project here.
“It’s been a great year working on this project,” shared KWC senior committee member Sophia Tsiralidis ’24. “We wanted our class gift to celebrate the rich history of Kentucky Wesleyan while also beautifying our campus. Having the artwork created by a Kentucky Wesleyan alumnus makes it even more special and I can’t wait to see it come to fruition!”
The students, along with help from 2023 Outstanding Alumnus of the Arts Lewis and the KWC Alumni Association, are working toward a completion date of May 3 – just one day before they’ll walk across the stage and become Kentucky Wesleyan College graduates at the College’s 156th Annual Commencement.
The mockup is the concept created by the Class of 2024. Details of the mural are still being finalized and the artist will use the mockup to create his own original piece in the coming weeks.
