Isaiah Zagar and his wife, Julia were visitors in Topeka.  Isaiah, with Julia's assistance, led a weekend workshop and several additional full day and part day work sessions throughout the 10 day residency - June 4th-15th.  An 80 foot long ten foot high mosaic mural was completed on the north and west walls of the NOTO ArtsPlace building at 905 N. Kansas.  Additional murals were started at Kaw River Rustics (901 N Kansas) Yeldarb Gallery (909 N Kansas) and at the NOTO Arts Center.

 

Preparation and Day One photos are included in the slide show on this page.  Photos come from several of the workshop participants.   Two videos about the residency were produced by MotoVike Films and are available by clicking Video 1  and Video 2.  A short time lapse video will also be available soon for viewing by clicking (coming HERE soon)
