CT State Gateway students embarked on an inspiring project to bring their creativity out of the studio and onto the street. Led by Instructors Peter Bonadies and Vladimir Shptalnik, students created two massive murals—measuring 4×32 ft and 9×20 ft—that adorn the plaza facade at 101 College St, New Haven. The designs beautifully depict the connection between science and art. The special projects class received support from 101 College Street, LLC who held space available for the murals, underwrote every student”s tuition, and the cost of materials.
On the 3rd floor studios overlooking the site, CT State Gateway students transformed their vision into stunningly colorful multi-media murals. Each artwork is meticulously crafted and reflects the skills and diverse perspectives of the CT State Gateway student body. Scientific equipment is integrated into the murals and provides a literal connection between art and science. The students hope the murals will inspire scientific creativity in 101 College Street researchers. Students had the opportunity to meet in person with the building’s developer Carter Winstanley, founder of Winstanley Enterprises. He shared his passion for public art and his excitement for the murals. Meeting Winstanley motivated the students and deepened their understanding of the impact art can have on urban spaces. For CT State Gateway, it’s about breaking barriers and inviting dialogue. The murals reaffirm the importance of art as a universal language that transcends boundaries.
As part of the merger into a unified community college, the CT State web team is sunsetting individual campus websites. While we navigate this transition, you may find the following links helpful.
