Project completion
2004
The project brought together Wyomissing Area High School art students with children and staff from the learning center. Portrait imagery gives the mural its personality, while tiles made by the children themselves become part of the finished surface. The work celebrates youth not only as its subject, but as active contributors to the artwork.
