The Countdown Public Art Productions is in its last phase and is looking for volunteers to help build the pebble mosaic that will have a permanent home in Millennium Park.
This art project is a team effort between the Red Dress Project and Maggie’s Resource Centre. The mosaic is to be a beautiful place of hope that will honour those who have lived through sexual and gender based violence as well as a place to remember those who did not survive.
The design for the mosaic features a view of the Eagles Nest, the York River, a turtle and a soaring eagle so that it is unique to Bancroft and those who live in the area. Past mosaic builds have included people of all ages, skills and abilities with a hands-on artist guided process working with the simple elements of just rocks, water and sand.
