Highridge Residents Create Mosaic Tabletop Art Installation

Body

Mosaic TableIn partnership with the Norton Museum of Art's afterschool outreach program, residents from the Highridge Family Center were chosen to participate in creating a mosaic tabletop installation.

During the six-week project, the residents met with Norton instructors for two hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The project theme, "Growth and Change" is one of the Sanctuary Institute's seven commitments and was selected by the participating residents. The theme represents restoring hope, meaning, and purpose.

Once the theme was decided, the residents were instructed to use tiles in different shapes, colors and sizes to create the mosaic, which was placed on the outside patio table where residents have pizza parties on Wednesdays.

The Norton Museum of Art will display a photo of the mosaic in the Public Art Perceptions: A Summer Youth Collaborative exhibition September 25 - November 20 in the Marden Community Gallery. After the exhibition, the framed photograph will be returned to Highridge Family Center to be displayed in the lobby for public viewing.

With the success of the mosaic table top, Highridge Family Center will continue creating themed mosaic installations on an ongoing basis.
