The Trojan Family Tapestry by world-renowned artist John Nava is the signature commission of the Ronald Tutor Campus Center Art & Trojan Traditions program and permanent art collection. The Campus Center originally commissioned the piece in the summer of 2008, at the suggestion of USC Fisher Museum of Art’s Director, Selma Holo. Once commissioned, Nava began making visits to campus to photograph students and meet with members of the Campus Center administration to develop his tapestry vision.
