Annual Community Art Project
ArtFest Green Bay proudly presents an annual community art project, fulfilling its mission of bringing art to the streets of Downtown Green Bay that will last generations.
This year, participants of all ages and abilities are invited to join local artists Laura Schley and Annie Stenseth in upcycling a cement planter into a mosaic piece of art that will be in the Olde Main Street District! This dynamic public art piece will feature hand-laid glass tiles arranged in playful, intersecting circles and mandalas-symbolizing connection, wholeness, and the beauty of diversity.
Help place the tiles into their patterns from 11:00-2:00 on Saturday and Sunday in the Experience Art Zone.
Special thank you to our partners and sponsors who will make this project possible: U.S. Venture, Amerhart Foundation Fund, Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, and Raasch Lawn Care & Landscaping.
