About the Book
New Your City History
In 2007, artist Jean Cozzens and Ann Schattle led the exciting building project “New Your City." Children, schools, community groups, and adults from across the state came to participate in the creation of a city made from recycling materials.
After the success of the first city, Ann Schattle, the Children's Specialist, wanted to bring the cooperative building project back to the library.
In April of 2011, in collaboration with Mary Geisser, a local artist and teacher, the city returned to the Fox Point Community Library. The project was open to children, adults, and families of all ages. Classes from Vartan Gregorian Elementary school also came to help create the city from junk and found objects.
The city was build during 2 weeks in April and remained on display in the Library for several weeks.
This book was created to document the city's evolution and imagination.
