flights of fancy: taking mosaic design & grassroots fundraising to new heights
DESCRIPTION
Delivered at the 15th Biennial Community Built Association Conference (in Davis, CA) with artist Aileen Barr, this presentation reviews how the two ceramic-tiled staircases and adjacent gardens in San Francisco's Inner Sunset District were created through extensive community collaborations that drew donations from across the United States and a few other countries--and may be inspiring a third set of ceramic-tiled steps in the same neighborhood.TRANSCRIPT
