Hahn Arroyo Mosaic Workshops are a Huge Success 

Mosaic Roadrunners
Mosaic Roadrunners for the Hahn Arroyo Project

The Hahn Arroyo Public Art Project is well underway and the community tile workshops have been extremely popular. One workshop participant had this to say about the project: "I live right next to the Hahn Arroyo and I'm so excited to be included in this process. I can't wait to walk down the arroyo once it's complete and see the LithoMosaic once it's installed."
If you'd like to try your hand at the LithoMosaic process and be a part of this collaborative art project, please contact project coordinator Nan Masland. There are still a few spaces available for the Saturday May 7th workshop from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Workshops are held at the Harwood Studio on the corner of 5th St. and Mountain Rd.
Come be a part of public art!
