In partnership with Harding Fine Arts Academy, Penn Square Mall will welcome its second mural. Several students of the Academy submitted artwork for the chance to have it painted on the Mall, which were then voted on by the student body. The winning mural design, illustrated by Harding Fine Arts Academy student, Syenna C., will gather inspiration from the state’s history, featuring state symbols and the establishing year Penn Square Mall opened its doors.
“Because it’s going to be in Oklahoma City, I wanted to include the Scissortail and the roses from the Oklahoma flower. In doing my research, I realized Penn Square Mall was opened in 1960.” Said student and artist, Syenna C. “The abstract images displayed are for shoppers to interpret as they walk from store to store. I'm really proud of this opportunity to display my art.”
Penn Square Mall announced their first mural in May 2023 – An initiative aimed to showcase the creative side of the city and add value to the shopper experience while visiting the center.
Painting will begin the week of December 4th. Those interested in receiving more information on the murals are encouraged to visit Penn Square Mall’s website, or contact the Director of Marketing & Business Development of Penn Square Mall, Jill Farrand.
