PRESS RELEASE: Some First Friday Events in the South End Arts District in Burlington




The Tile Project, Art for the Masses

Tile Artwork by Christy Mitchell
May 6th - 28th
First Friday Reception: May 6th, 5-9pm

The Tile Project, Art for the Masses is an exhibit of small art tiles created by Christy Mitchell. Starting the project in 2005, the work has been a staple at past Art Markets and annual South End Art Hops. Creating art for the masses, these tiles are only $10 each and are small enough to fit in just about every area of the home or office. Repurposing discarded tiles from building sites and paper from vintage children's books, Mitchell adds paint and marker to create unique yet nostalgic works of art.
