This mosaic is part of a larger community art project coordinated by Arts for Children and Youth in 2010 which enlivened the underground parking entrance and the walls of the basketball court adjacent to the Teesdale Community Centre in Scarborough. Local youths were hired to be arts leaders as the community helped with the construction of the mosaics. In addition to large projects like this one the group also holds community art days where they encourage passers-by to join them in the creation of small scale artworks. In this case participants were invited to create a small face on a peace of clay. Those small faces were later incorporated into the community murals.
