Creative Tiles Community Murals involve hundreds of participants.
Made of small pantings on wood panels or ceramic tiles, a Creative Tiles Community Mural expresses the richness and importance of diversity within a community.
Seen from up close, each picture is unique and different. From a distance, patterns and similarities appear.
My responsibility as an artist is to emphasize these similarities and differences by designing harmonious designs that link the individual pictures. In doing so, I hope to send a message about the importance of tolerance towards our differences. For more information about Creative Tiles Community Murals programs, email annefrancey@gmail.com
