CERO Design mosaic artists Celso Gonzalez & Roberto Biaggi, known for their extraordinary public art projects in North America and Puerto Rico, led a week-long workshop involving residents of all ages living in South Hillsborough County in the making and installation of a community mosaic mural. The mural was installed on the exterior of the Firehouse Cultural Center in Ruskin. This project epitomizes the Firehouse Cultural Center mission: to provide quality programming in arts and education for all ages; to encourage participation, engagement, discovery and learning while offering connections to the unique history, culture and natural environment of the South Shore.
