This community mural was completed in March of 2022 at Germanna Community College and was a collaboration between Gabriel Pons of PONSHOP and local teen artist Sophia Pineda.
Titled “Fortunate Unions” , The 30-foot long mural adorns the Student Lounge of Germanna Community College and was inspired by the potentials of a college campus-a place that fosters connections between people: academic, professional, personal and social. The artwork acknowledges the diversity, inclusion, and optimism that is embodied in our community. We are confident that it will continue to inspire students through the years to enlighten and bridge differences in our region with the hope of global change.
Thanks to Kelly Saunders, GCC Student Activities Coordinator, the Germanna Faculty and the Pineda Family (Sophiola) for the opportunity to collaborate on this project. Special thanks to the volunteers that helped paint the mural.
