We will supply the materials (newspaper, soil, unconventional potting, flowers) and encourage the community to have an open mind on sustainable options for container gardening.
Community Art – My Neighborhood, Our Akron art wall
Participants will be encouraged to post the favorite thing they love about their neighborhood on the art wall. Maybe it’s your favorite restaurant or your wonderful neighbors, or maybe it’s the wonderful memories that you had growing up. Share a piece of your heart on the Community Art Wall.
Visual Arts- Decoupaged seats
Post your favorite neighborhood photos, community landmarks, and local architcture so we can use them at the celebration. These photos will be printed and participants will decoupage them on to chairs to create a unique, one-of-a-kind seat that will be installed locally. These unique chairs will serve as reminders to why each community is different and unique in Akron!
