Project Description
ASU 365 Community Union activates Mountain America Stadium, Home of the ASU Sun Devils for non-athletic events.
With the support of Coca-Cola, 365 CU will commission a mural on a free-standing outdoor structure located on the Coca-Cola Sun Deck of Mountain America Stadium. The structure consists of one large feature wall that would be encapsulated by the mural/artwork.
This feature wall structure is positioned in a high traffic area at Mountain America Stadium that will be visible during game day events, as well as open to the public daily. This feature wall is consisting of three sides and measures approximately 11 x 7.5 x 2.5 feet.
This mural artwork will align with a theme celebrating global diversity and world culture, along with ASU’s mission. This mural artwork will exist outdoors in the natural environment and elements from spring 2025 through spring 2026. See the full schedule in the proposal document.
This mural will be promoted with supplemental event programming and will continue to promote the Coca-Cola Community Art Program, which began in fall 2023. Additionally, this program is a current ASU student award program that will showcase student works.
Artists
2024: Serena Teng
Congratulations to our first Coca-Cola Student Awardee, Serena Teng. Serena is a sophomore studying in painting and drawing & art education. Before college, she had more than 10 years of art experience and 6 years of professional art education. Serena works with multiple mediums including: acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, digital art, oil pastels, graphite, and ink.
Through her design she wanted to incorporate the theme "global culture" by creating a work that shows cultural items, clothing, or patterns that represent countries from all over the world. As ASU has such a diverse community, Serena shows the happiness and joy of sharing different cultures through the colors and intricate details. Some of the images in her mural include Desi accessories (India), Chinese traditional kites and fireworks, Venetian Masks (Italy), Hispanic women wearing the Huipil (Mexico), Greek pole with ceramic, African Fabric patterns, and more.

2023: Camila Ibarra
Congratulations to our first local artist selected for the Coca-Cola Community Art program, Camila Ibarra! Camila is a proud Mexican woman from Tucson, Arizona, who thrives on sharing her art and its message with the world. As an artist, her goal is to inspire passersby to pause, appreciate the vibrant visuals, and feel celebrated by the artwork's themes of cultural diversity and community acceptance.
Ibarra's passion for representing minority groups stems from her own experiences as a minority throughout life. From being a woman in engineering to being the only person of color in a room, she's often felt overlooked. However, she's come to realize that these unique experiences are what set her apart. When embraced with confidence, this uniqueness becomes a powerful tool. Through her art, Ibarra celebrates this power and hopes to inspire others to leverage their own uniqueness to their advantage.
