Measuring at 120 feet wide and 40 feet tall, the “MESA” art mural covers the front wall of Mahoney Hall on UMass Lowell’s South Campus. The Boston-based artist, Sophy Tuttle, created this mural in alignment with the common theme of nature in her art pieces. In reference to the acronym for the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act, “MESA” features several endangered species such as the showy lady’s slipper and blue-spotted salamander.
ArtUp Lowell, an artistic nonprofit, organized this art project in coordination with Beyond Walls from Lynn, Massachusetts.
Location: Mahoney Hall, 870 Broadway Street
