Tomorrow! Saturday, 11/12, 2pm! Come CELEBRA TE the AMAZING Aqua Interlude & Reflection Glass Mosaic Project at the Columbus Dr. Pedestrian Underpass- just north of Roosevelt! This 1,600 sq. ft. mosaic was made possible by over 50 youth apprentices, a top-notch group of artists (lead by Maria Gaspar & Mirtes Zwierzynski), and After School Matters. The panels were completed on tables in the ASM tent this summer (pictured left), and installed this fall. This is an astounding project- come see it and the people who made it possible!
Assistant Artists: Julia Sowles-Barlow, Allison Nault, Joann Li, Adele Moss, and Monica Tantoco
