Volunteer Opportunity:
“Paving the Way”: Mosaic Tile Paver Community Project
The North Shattuck Association is working with Martin Luther King Middle School and the ACCI Gallery on a stepping stone mosaic paver project. “Paving the Way” brings students, artists, community volunteers, and neighborhood businesses together to create art, build community, and raise funds for art programs at the middle school. ACCI Gallery boardmember/artist Karen Mason is spearheading the project, with help from other ACCI artists, the MLK art teachers, the North Shattuck Association, and community volunteers. Other partners are: Talavera Ceramics, Heath Ceramics, Berkeley Technology Academy, Floor Dimensions and The Cheese Board.
The project is in need of other volunteers (merchants, teachers, artists, or just people interested in working with teens) that want to come join the project and learn how to make mosaic pavers, and participate as teachers.
Please contact Karen at karenmason@comcast.net or the association at info@northshattuck.org for more information.
