Artist Isaiah Zagar began tiling South Street in the 1960s and never stopped, eventually building a mosaic garden out

A new exhibition recently opened down the street at the South Street District Office gallery space! This show highlights the South Street Renaissance - a time of art, protest, and change in our neighborhood - and a movement that our founders, the Zagars, were a major part of.

The exhibition is up through December 5, so stop by 407 South Street and check it out!
