Tileography panels at Community Foundation

Their website cfsaz.org page “Who We Are” says “The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona connects donors to the causes they care about, serving as a vital link between philanthropy and the community’s needs.”

There's outdoor art around their buildings and changing art exhibits inside their co-working space. One art display is panels made by tileography. The website www.tilography.com describes the process and shows examples. One place you'll see tileography in Tucson is along Broadway Blvd. just east of downtown around the Rattlesnake Bridge.

There are eight tileography panels with portraits of Tucsonans. Enter at the door to the south of the tall mural shown in our June 25, 2021 post Murals being made, part 63: Connections. Then walk along the passageway:
The panels are numbered One through Eight, starting near that entrance. At the end of this post are a plaque with descriptions of each panel, then the text from it.
