McCandless St Steps Mosaic Tile Mural

We’re in the final push for this incredible project!

Outdoor staircase with metal railings leading up a hill, surrounded by yellow and green plants, with a sidewalk and road at the bottom.

9 years ago, Stanton Heights residents had a bold idea:

come together as a community and create a mural on the steps between Stanton Ave & McCandless St.

After a lot of work, advocacy, and waiting, the project is finally underway!

We have partnered with artists Elizabeth Klevens and Stevo to bring this project to life.

Want to support this awesome project that will beautify our neighborhood for decades to come?

The Plan

  • The artists made a design and presented it to the board. The board provided feedback.

  • The artists attended our October 2025 Neighbor Night and presented their final design to the community.

  • We started building: we hosted workshops at Contemporary Craft from November 2025 through February 2026 for community members to come and learn how to mosaic tile. Neighbors took home a step and all the materials necessary to complete their mosaic contribution.

  • Community members dropped off their completed step at Contemporary Craft.

  • Armed with all the completed steps, the Artists will install and grout the tile mosaic onto the steps.

  • We will have a big party!

The Design

Elizabeth Klevens and Stevo have gone through 3 separate round of revisions with the Board and community to come to these designs. Here they are!

We need your support!
