"Discover FrescoŽ" Workshop for Children Goes Chicago!

On July 17th, artist Tansey Moyer has successfully conducted first "Lets Fresco" class in a planned series of fresco workshops for children at the Columbus Maryville facility at Montrose and Clarendon - an emergency housing center for the Department of Child and Family Services in Cook County. Tansey is using support, know-how and materials provided by TrueFresco.com through our "Discover Fresco Outreach Program"

Tansey Moyer a prominent Chicago artist contacted Ilia Anossov - fresco artist and TrueFresco.com & "Discover Fresco" program's founder, following the recommendation from Kathy Carroll of FauxChannel.com

"I was looking for the most exciting project that I can bring to these children something that they will never forget and may never have a chance to experience in the situation that they are in. I could never imagine that I could bring them Fresco!" - said Tansey in the phone conversation with iLia Anossov

"Tansey was thrilled when I mentioned that painted tiles can be easily assembled on the wall in a quilt-like mural that could grow if you continue conducting the workshop and new students add their frescoes to the mural." - reflects iLia Anossov.
