The mural will be a complete mosaic made from glass tiles and mirrors, focusing on community, inclusion, and belonging themes. Community participation will be essential in making the mural a true reflection of our community. The community will have opportunities to share their ideas on what should be featured in the mural. The artist team will use this input to create the final mural design. The community will also be able to create portions of the mosaic tiles that will be incorporated into the final mural.
