Take part in Together, we tile, a collaborative art project by Union Gallery for Culture Days 2021. Sign up to receive a small ceramic tile to design at your heart's delight.

Spend time and get creative with how you decide to personalize your tile piece. Everyone who signs up for a tile will receive an instructional zine and further details on the workshop. Abby Nowakowski led a virtual workshop on October 6, covering the instructional zine details, ranging from tile design potentials, to techniques and ideas to help connect us all and hold conversations centered around dreams, exploration and re-imagining our tomorrow.

We will be collecting all completed tile pieces to construct a sculptural structure, where all these gathered feelings, ideas, and pieces of artwork can come together and be enjoyed by all.
