In the fall of 2008, Art For The People embarked on the adventure of community created mosaic with The Takoma Mosaic Project. In collaboration with local artists Laurie Stepp and Arturo Ho, and with the advice of the American Visionary Art Museum, Art For The People produced 500 square feet of glittering mosaic on a library exterior wall that energized and pleased a wide community. The project was funded by the Takoma Foundation and the City of Takoma Park.
