Become an artist for a day and learn about local Native American culture!

Coastal Corridor Alliance (CCA) is taking the community on an exciting adventure by transforming trash collected from our beach clean ups and local public lands into stunning art images like the one below. Guided by artistic professionals you’ll create an individual art piece that will join 80-100 individual pieces in a final 10’x20’ collaborative mosaic.

Location: Fairview Park (listed above), unless otherwise noted, occasionally varies
