Department of Performing and Visual Arts Alumna Designs Murals for Westfield Broward Mall

Aina Rivas, B.A., 2019 graduate of the Department of Performing and Visual Arts (DPVA) in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS), designed an ”interactive Instagramable mural” to mount on an empty mall barricade at Westfield Broward Mall. Rivas created the pieces digitally and the mall used her vectorized design to print the vinyl for the wall. Patrons can take pictures of themselves in front of the mural and then send them to their Instagram accounts.

Rivas indicated that, “Getting to see my artwork mounted at Westfield Broward Mall was so cool and seeing the work I put into it come to reality was really awesome! I would like to thank Professor Lopez for sending them my way and facilitating this contact.” Kandy Lopez-Moreno is a faculty member in DPVA. This fall Rivas will be starting a graduate program in Art Therapy in Illinois.
