Very cool, Maggie. Is there a page on your website where all this is described, including photos? I’d like to alert my Northfield ‘art town’ colleagues to what you’ve done.

Hi Griff,
It was great to meet you Tuesday. I hope we can continue to work with you as we build the community website.
You asked about the art at KAXE. KAXE has been in its new building for a little less than 2 years. We’re trying to make the building and the site look nice. There is one mosaic sculpture in the confence room and several more in the amphitheater area outside. They are a community project that was inspired by the work of Wouterina de Raad in Wisconsin and carried out by local artist-volunteers taught by Magda Seitz Kearns (Magda studied under Wouterina de Raad and has recently moved out of our area). Some of the sculptures, like the Green Cheese moon with a pig jumping over it and the “kissy fish” down by the walking trail, were tiled by kids and parents during KAXE music events. The site committee hopes to build more sculptures and do more landscaping outside as they are able.
