I had to know more about the tiles, so I searched online (of course!). I was delighted to find that all the tiles are based on art work of children right here in Grand Forks. ArtWise is an initiative in Grand Forks designed to promote art awareness among adults and art appreciation among children. It includes not only these tiles, but also art work displayed in various locations and businesses around Grand Forks. You can read more about it at the ArtWise website, and see more of the artwork.
These are just a few of the walls:
And my favorite image of the ones I saw, by Carli:
These tiles are awesome - art is so important to children's creativity. I hope these are a reminder of that to everyone who sees them.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought that it was pretty neat. We're going to the Farmer's Market again tomorrow... I hope there is a bit more produce this time :)
