JULIA TUTTLE - THE MURAL
Julia Tuttle, our Urban Threads Mural Reinvention is underway for 2020. Originally designed to be a monumental work in crochet, the reinvention is a textile melange. Members are invited to contribute components to be added to her portrait in fiber as she poses in front of the lush tropical foliage of Old Fort Dallas, pre-Miami. We are creating a site specific mural to honor Miami's Mother for the 125th anniversary of her remarkable accomplishment. Julia Tuttle is the ONLY woman in the US who has ever founded a city. In 1896, she, a woman, was not allowed to vote and yet she made this happen.
