Mosaic Art Project
Over two years, we planned, raised funds, designed, created each layout, held tile laying workshops, grouted the tile and then worked together to install each on the La Grange Community Center building.
The mural is wrapped around the building like a warm hug. A true CommUNITY experience and colorful example of
what we can do together!
