Making Change gathered groups of people together with no art experience to share things about their culture that spark conversations. These painted 4x4 wooden tiles are now on display at the Lakeshore Branch until April. Stop by the Radiant Roots Expo to paint your own tile and add it to the Cultures Across Simcoe County mural.
