A Railroad Runs Through It

 As a follow-up to the Public Art Workshop on July 24, 2014, we will be making seeded paper flowers. Using the public art and placemaking ideas previously generated, we will shred these multi-colored sicky notes and turn them into beautiful paper flowers sprinklered with organic fruit, flower and vegetable seeds. 

These will be "planted" under an exterior public chalkboard that will be placed into Peter Feldman Park. These seeds of ideas will literally bloom providing food for more ideas. This will happen at  a future, TBD date. 

This is part of a larger series of workshops that have taken place in Pompano Beach, Oakland Park, Fort Lauderdale and Dania Beach. Partially funded through a Community Solutions Through Public Art grant from Broward County Cultural Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, public artist Valerie J. Amor has been engaging the community to provide public art and placemaking ideas.

Focused on the past, present and future environmental, economic and social impacts from the FEC railroad, All Aboard Florida, future train stations and Transit Oriented Development, this is an opportunity to share your voice in building a culturally rich, diverse and historically just community.
