Join the Human Rocket: A Fourth of July Community Mosaic
Be part of a one-of-a-kind community artwork this Fourth of July!
As part of Rock-It in the Park, Union Park Neighborhood Association and choreographer Eliot Schilling are inviting the community to help create a giant human rocket mosaic at Union Park.
Gather in front of Union Park's Rocket Slide at 2:00 PM to become part of a coordinated group photo featuring 250+ people. A sea of gingham picnic blankets will transform the park into a playful, large-scale installation celebrating community, creativity, and America's 250th.
Whether you're staying for the day or stopping by for the photo, you're invited to join the celebration!
