Vermont artist Mary Tapogna has started her work at Ward 5 School Apartments!

With support from the The Vermont Arts Council, Mary's mosaic mural will enhance the steps that lead to the entrance of Ward 5. The mural honors the historic Italian heritage of Ward 5's neighborhood by highlighting flowers found in both Italy and Vermont. Many of the materials for the mural were donated by the local community, making the piece that much more in touch with Barre's roots.

Stay in touch with Mary at MaryTapogna.com, and stay tuned for more updates from the ongoing install!
