Artwork created for University Village

Community Art at
University Village

NewMark Merrill Companies has embarked on a mission to uplift our communities through the patronage of public art at our shopping centers— unexpected venues for such cultural experiences. We believe that art has the power to foster hope, instill pride and bring vibrancy to the people we serve every day. In areas where access to art can be limited, these engaging works create unique community spaces that allow the imagination to flourish. We hope they will inspire every viewer to dream bigger and see beyond perceived barriers.

Featured Artists & Murals

Each work of art begins with the selection of a local artist who has significant ties to the community. Through a partnership between the artist and the center, the vision is conceived and brought to life on the walls, ground, asphalt, and other unexpected areas throughout our shopping centers.

Newmark Merrill is very involved in their communities and wants to make sure our shopping centers are part of the community. We give people a place to gather and be inspired. That is what our community art program is doing.

I want to create worlds, murals is one of the best ways to do that. (Murals) transport you someplace else and it’s large enough for you to feel like you could literally walk into it. . . something you get to participate in.
