A children’s tile mural was in­
stalled on Friday on the exterior
walls of Mimosa Studios, a “paint
your own pots” ceram ic studio
and handm ade gifts gallery at
1717 NE Alberta.
The in stallation features the

Mimosa owner and artist Aus-
tin Raglione said she wanted to
allow children in the neighborhood
to showcase their artwork and be a
part of a community project.
The tile mural was a perfect way
to realize her vision because it al­
lows each tile to exist as an indi­
vidual work of art or for the mural
itself to become a celebration of
community.
“There is something very bond­
ing about doing art with kids,”
Raglione said. “I am so grateful for
the opportunity to help kids feel
pride and ownership in this project.”
