OneNTU Mural 

NTU Museum presents an 11m long mural painted by Jaxton Su located at AIA Canopy North Spine

 

NTU Museum celebrated OneNTU Day on 30 Aug 2024 with a community mural painting event. NTU students, staff and their families were invited to contribute and help paint this mural throughout the day. Designed by NTU ADM alumnus and lecturer Jaxton Su, this 11m long mural features the diverse NTU staff working and relaxing together, celebrating OneNTU coming together, with the majestic lion inspired by NTU's logo and mascot. 

The vibrant design was kept simple to allow everyone to participate in painting it. An initial outline sketch was done on the wall the day before the event. During the 8 hours of the event, an estimated 230 people of all ages and skill levels helped paint this mural, proudly displayed atop the wooden steps at the AIA Canopy located at NTU's North Spine. #OneNTUmural
