Volunteers Needed to Help Artist Build Free Public Mosaic Mural
Philadelphia
mosaic artist, Isaiah Zagar, is looking for 10-20 volunteers to assist
in the building of a free, large public work near downtown Austin March

art Isaiah will teach volunteers how to build their own mosaic murals.
Any and all creative minds are welcome to donate
as much or as little time as they have available. Please visit the
links below to see Isaiah at work with volunteers as well as some of
Isaiah’s murals , which covers over 40,000 square feet of
walls/buildings in Philadelphia alone.

Building of the mural will coincide with the premier of the documentary, “In A Dream” at the SXSW Film Festival.
“In A Dream” is a feature-length documentary
about Julia Zagar and her husband Isaiah Zagar, a renowned mosaic
artist, who for the past 30 years has covered more than 40,000 square
feet of Philadelphia top to bottom with tile, mirror, paint, and concrete.
The film explores the joys as well as the
pitfalls of a life lived in pursuit of artistic discovery. Touching on
themes of infidelity, drug-addiction, obsession and ultimately,
forgiveness, the film presents a hopeful portrait of a couple
rediscovering the value of their marriage, their family and the dreams
they've created together.
