Stoddard Baptist Nursing Home Mosaics
City Arts collaborated with residents of the Stoddard Baptist Nursing Home in Washington, DC's Mount Pleasant neighborhood to create a series of mosaics representing the history of this community landmark. City Arts professional artists and student apprentices worked side-by-side with Stoddard residents to create five mosaics and three paintings. Several of the mosaics are being hung on the outside of the facility, while others are being placed in a courtyard area so that the residents can see and enjoy their artwork each day. The project began with a public art slideshow for Stoddard residents and staff. This was City Arts' first intergenerational project, funded through an Elders Learning Through the Arts grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
