So cool! Check out this awesome project by one of our art students Antauwn Wade!
Antauwn Wade, a fine arts major from Varnville, SC, is on a mission to encourage his community, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and recent tornadoes in his area.
He’s going all over his community, painting angels in storefronts and just about anywhere he can. He believes this small artistic act will help keep his neighbors and friends going during this difficult time. #PacerHeroes
“I started drawing at a very young age around, 4th grade. I am a self-taught artist; however, I took my first ever painting class in 2018 and haven’t put the brush down since.” - Antauwn Wade, Class of ‘21
