Project Summary

Piece by Piece has partnered with A Place Called Home to create artwork for their community garden space at the Newton Police Station. Youth at APCH drew designs, inspired by the garden. Our artisans, along with volunteers and members of the local community at the Central Ave Jazz Fest turned these drawings into mosaic!

Mosaics being created during community workshops.
Piece by Piece workshops in Council District 9 are supported, in part, through a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
