The University of Colorado at Boulder is offering students a different approach to relieving stress during finals week this year. Â鶹ÒùÔº, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to contribute to a mural painted by a national artist.

Painting began April 30 and will be completed by May 9.

Amy E. Bartell, who has done mural projects around the nation, will be designing a mural specifically for CU-Boulder. The mural, which will be painted in the food court area of the University Memorial Center, will consist of four panels, each measuring 4 feet by 6 feet in size. Painted primarily by Bartell, the mural also will be available for students, faculty and staff to contribute their work.

Those who would like to contribute to the mural can do so during designated times, but groups are encouraged to call ahead. To reserve a time for a group to participate call Becca Flintoft at (303) 492-6852.
