In April and May of 2023, artists Alex! Jimenez and Paloma Jacqueline led several community workshops inviting the public to create a memorial tile honoring a loved one lost to COVID-19 or other diseases during the pandemic.
The artists would like to thank all those who contributed their energy to making tiles and those who submitted names online. Nearly 300 names are represented on the memorial wall and once constructed, it will be a community site for grief and remembrance.
This project was funded by the American Rescue Plan Act
Construction has begun on the memorial wall at Mission Manor Park! Completion is scheduled for the end of November. Contact us if you’d like to be a part of planning the December unveiling or would like to donate your time or talents to the event.
