IFC MOSAIC DEDICATION
Next week, in conjunction with National Volunteer Week, the Inter-Faith Council, the Town of Chapel Hill, and the Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission will dedicate the broken-tile mosaic created by artist Sally Erickson titled The Fine Line Between Giving at IFC’s Community House, 100 West Rosemary Street. Please join us on Wednesday, April 20th at 1:30 p.m. for the dedication ceremony.  The ceremony will feature remarks by Mayor Kevin Foy, mosaic artist Sally Erickson, IFC Executive Director Chris Moran, and Chair of the Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission Jeff Cohen. 

 

The public is also invited to visit the Community House on that day between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. to see the results of the recent renovation of the men’s shelter and to view the newly installed mosaic.

 

This mosaic was created by Sally Erickson and funded by the Town of Chapel Hill’s Percent for Art Program in conjunction with the renovations of the IFC Community House, which provides shelter to homeless men.  Erickson was inspired by her extensive interviews with IFC staff members, volunteers and residents, and the suggestion by one shelter guest of hands reaching out as the mosaic theme.  “After all of the interviews, I realized that everybody involved at IFC—the staff, volunteers and guests—receives and everyone also gives a tremendous amount,” said Erickson.
