Christine Kreamer Schilling’s tile mosaic mural “Onward and Upward – Many Roads Lead Home” was dedicated last Thursday at the Boys & Girls Town of Missouri.

The interior installation is a collaboration joining the ideas, dreams, and visions of Boys & Girls Town of Missouri residents with the creative and technical assistance of the artist who worked with the kids from drawings to final stages of the project.

Funding for the project was provided by the Springfield Regional Arts Council with assistance from the U.S. Department of Education and the Springfield YMCA.

Tiles for the project were donated by Unique Tile of Nixa, Missouri. The project was created in 2009-2010.
