You've Been Tagged!



Funded by a grant from the State Council on the Arts, “Support the Arts” tag program, Linda Munoz worked with fellow artist Heather Nicely and volunteers Jane Bedford and Pat Harlow to direct 15 Collinsville High School students. She helped students design the scenes for the bench tops and taught them about cutting glass, and choosing your color palette. Students mixed the grout, poured it, rubbed it into the lines, and then cleaned the final projects.
Five benches and the three-by-five (feet!!!) mural of the school mascot, the Collinsville Panther were given to the Collinsville School. The sixth bench pictured above will add a nice touch to the front of our Town Hall. At tag renewal time, please consider purchasing a “Support the Arts” tag in appreciation for funding this project. When a tag is renewed and an “Arts Tag” is purchased, $48 dollars from the tag fee are spent on projects in communities all over Alabama.
