Yesterday, we were set up at Bernalillo County, NM ‘s
East Mountain Celebration with BernCo Public Art. 🏔️ Attendees had the opportunity to lay tile for a community mosaic panel that will be hung at Los Vecinos Community Center. People also created mosaic coasters and painted/tiled mini treasure chests.
It was an amazing experience to be a part of this celebration, thank you to everyone who came by our booth!
