EXTERIOR > MCAULIFFE ELEMENTARY

Through a Creative School Fund grant facilitated by ArtReach Chicago, hundreds of handmade tiles, five mosaic panels and fourteen monarch butterflies were designed and produced with every student at McAuliffe Elementary over two weeks in the spring of 2017. We installed the butterflies and larger panels, depicting clusters of overwintering monarch butterflies, on a retaining wall bordering the McCormick YMCA and the Exelon Observatory at the western end of the 606 over the summer of 2017, with many thanks to McAuliffe teacher Keli Campbell and LSNA’s parent volunteers.
