Mosaic Arts Apprenticeship Program

Carpenter Art Garden expanded its Mosaic Arts Apprenticeship Program, training neighborhood youth in mosaic design and culminating in a public art installation of the “Welcome to Binghampton” sign in front of the Binghampton Gateway Center. The program empowered young residents to contribute to their neighborhood’s visual identity and create a symbol of community pride while gaining valuable skills.
