The artists describe the entrance to this building as “a gateway to a safe haven for learning and friendship.” Nearly 100 children worked with the artists to design and install the mosaic entryway. Quotes from world leaders such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. intermingle with whimsical imagery of spirals, butterflies, and harlequin shapes to inspire the children each time they enter the building.
