Goal:To complete mosaic projects along Poplar Street and beyond that improve and beautify Azalea Park.
Long Term Vision: To create, support and inspire artists living in Azalea Park to learn to design, make and install mosaics that improve the community while fostering relationships, creativity, community interconnectedness and overall well-being. To make Azalea Park more safe and walkable. To establish vibrant work spaces throughout the neighborhood that are equipped to create full scale mosaics and foster creativity and social engagement.
Theme: Group Show: Individual artists/ Art exhibition
The Pop Street Project included funding for both mosaics and drought resistant landscaping of some of the "parkways" on Poplar Street.
Two original mosaic art works by community members who had never done a mosaic before.
This mosaic was created and installed by two Mosaic League members who incorporated hand made tiles by other community members.
