Myths and Mirrors Public Art
Creating opportunities for people to see and experience the arts outside of mainstream settings has been vital to Myths and Mirrors’ work since the very beginning. Over the years, we’ve collaborated with community members to create public art that has included murals, installations, site-specific theatre, and more, as part of our belief that art and culture is for everyone!
