JULIA TUTTLE - THE MURAL
Julia Tuttle The Mural is underway! On 12-29-2020, members Gina, Stephanie, Dana, Irene, and I met at FIU-MBUS to project the image onto cloth. In no time at all, our team work paid off. Great work, everyone! Thank you Colette for opening the gallery for us!
We are honoring the only woman who has ever founded a city in the USA. In 1896, Julia Tuttle was not allowed to vote by virtue of her gender, and yet she birthed this city. The mural will be exhibited for the 125th anniversary of the CIty of Miami in summer 2021.

Julia Tuttle The Mural is inspired by the black and white photo from the Miami Herald, edited by talented PLY-Miami member, Stephanie Bickle. A working sketch, it represents our vision of an inclusive textile mural in which individual components are hand made by our talented members in orange and green, the colors of the CIty of Miami. Her nosegay of orange blossoms signifies Julia's inticement to Henry Flagler to bring hisrailroad to Miami where it does not freeze.
