The Foundation worked with artist and water advocate Wyland of Laguna Beach to create the mosaic.
Students helped paint a giant New Orleans and wetlands-themed mosaic
On opening day of Hurricane on the Bayou at the Irvine Spectrum (California), students helped paint a giant New Orleans and wetlands-themed mosaic that said, “We Care!” which was disassembled and sent to a school in New Orleans.  The mosaic was greeted with many tears by the kids of New Orleans, who, the school’s principal told us, did not realize that so many from so far away did care!   The Foundation worked with artist and water advocate Wyland of Laguna Beach to create the mosaic.  (click images for larger view)
