Fitzgerald created and designed the Maverick Mosaics Legacy Program for public schools to educate and promote appreciation of community and public art to the “next generation”. These large-scale “legacy” works are permanent installations created by the current student body and presented as “gifts” to future students. Each program begins with collaboration among significant numbers of community representatives, children, teachers, parents and civic leaders. If you are interested in developing a Legacy project with your school please drop Bonnie a note and we will send you our guidelines.
Some of her favorite projects are “If I Were an Animal,” and the large-scale ceramic mosaic work based on the notion of “cycles”. For “Cycles” each group of 4 tiles was created by a team of 3 kids, lots of problem-solving. Other schools Bonnie has work with include Hunter’s Woods Elementary School, Centreville Elementary, Marshall Roads just to name a few. The most recent group project “Embrace” was created as small pixellated artworks and assembled as a quilt- a super cost effective and kid-friendly project.
