There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Take a breath, relax, and be prepared to make many, many, many “happy little accidents” as we follow along with a painting tutorial from one of the world’s most cherished painters and TV personalities in one of the world’s most infamously terrible painting programs!
We’ll spend about an hour and a half slowly working through a 30-minute Bob Ross Season 10 episode (the exact painting won’t be disclosed until the event starts), pausing frequently to provide time to paint and catch up with the speedy artist. A painting guide with image dimensions, color codes, and more will be provided to registered attendees in advance. All you need is a computer, tablet, or similar device with a painting app. Microsoft Paint comes preinstalled on computers running Windows 10. Paintbrush is a free and comparable MacOS alternative to Microsoft Paint, and the built-in Preview app also has (limited) paint functionality. Any painting app will suffice, but try to stick with the spirit of the event: the worse the painting app, the better.
Attendees can submit their paintings at the end of the event, and other attendees will vote post-event on the top three paintings. The top three artists will win a copy of The Official Bob Ross Coloring Book along with a set of 24 Prismacolor colored pencils and additional RHA merchandise.
The event link will be provided upon registration. Please email dop@rha.gatech.edu with any questions or concerns!
