In this community art project we are creating 10 multi-paneled “quilted” mosaics made of colored and cut glass tiles. The final pieces will installed on the south-facing wall exterior of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park. The images we are creating are drawn from the traditional textile pattern of our communities cultural groups. This project is co-led and organized by KFNA and Southwest Senior Center/VOA and the project artist is Sharra Frank. The primary goal of the Mosaic Quilting Project is to demonstrate, through visual art, the diversity of cultures in our community and celebrate their shared public space at Rev.
