Wynona's Wall

A permanent art installation of children helping children.

Wynona’s Wall is a community tile project that turns children's artwork into the walls of the waiting room and other areas of Wynona’s House Child Advocacy Center. Artwork functions as a comforting visual for children awaiting services. Children are soothed by identifying with artwork from peers. It is a simple yet important way for children to help children and be an active part of the community.

Children create artwork on a 8 1/2’’ x 8 1/2’’ piece of paper (kits will be mailed upon request) which is mailed postage paid to Wynona’s House. The art is then transformed into a glazed tile that will be permanently installed in the building.
