DeBlois artist Mandy Howe explains: "This project is part of my RISCA commission at the Center. We had just started on it in February - and then everything shut down. So I started asking friends to paint tiles, and eventually thought to include it in a project at the Gallery so artists from the community could help finish the project while the Center was still closed. We set up outside [the Gallery] and several members and visitors to the Gallery completed twenty+ tiles.
Here is a photo of one of four panels: each panel combines tiles made by MLKCC kids and adults with those made by Deblois Gallery members and visitors to the gallery that day. The four panels, totalling 56 tiles, will be installed in the front entry to the Center."
