Valle de Oro NWR 2023 ALMA Sculpture
Donation protected
Are you interested in supporting your urban wildlife refuge? Now is your chance! The Friends of Valle de Oro are raising funds to build a mosaic sculpture at Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge. Each year a new sculpture is added to the refuge as a means to represent our community and the wildlife that occupies the area.
These concrete sculptures are created with the Apprenticeships for Leaders in Mosaic Arts (ALMA). This organization "provides mentorship and training to youth through our apprenticeship model, creates world-class handmade tile mosaic artworks, and provides opportunities for the community to engage with the mosaic process". Therefore this will be a piece of art made by and for the community. Below are some photos of the drafted design.
All funds will go toward your refuge! Anything over our goal will go to our 2024 sculpture.
