MOSAIC PROJECT FOR KIDS (Verona Rd. Project) - Local rtist and teacher Elizabeth Doyle will lmake mosaics in collaboration with kids in our neighborhood.  Neighborhood kids (including teens) are invited to express themselves and have fun making mosaics.  This work will be permanently installed as part of the Verona Road Reconstruction Project in late summer, 2014.

Come to a  tracing party (either Feb. 22 or 23) and a design party (March 8 or 9).   Nine life-size tracings of kids will be made into mosaics for a retaining wall near the roundabout to be constructed under Verona Road.  FREE. Snacks, too.

TRACING PARTY
Kids trace each other on big sheets of paper.  Mosaic designs will be based on selected tracings.  Snacks provided.
