Designed by a Clark alum for International Education Week, the mural lives in Joan Stout Hall

Have you seen the new mural next to the Clark Cafe in Joan Stout Hall?  

Called “Coming Together for Art and Peace,” it was designed by Clark alum Christian Barrios and painted by Clark College and our Vancouver community during International Education Week in November 2023.  

The mural premiered at Clark’s International Day celebration on February 13. It honors how our international programs at Clark College foster global awareness in our community. The mural depicts colorful florals, two rainbow peace doves, and the words “Clark College.” It was inspired by textile designs from different cultures around the world.

Now, the mural will permanently live near Clark Cafe in Joan Stout Hall.
