Arthur Ezmon O'Donnell was a generous and kind soul, and he was surrounded by others who were just as generous. Upon his death in 2017, Art's family decided to do something to commemorate his life and legacy. To date, they have donated nearly $10,000 to SpArc Philadelphia to complete a project that will celebrate Art's joy for life and creativity.
This project, a large-scale mosaic inspired by a piece of Art's art, was installed over the course of three months in SpArc Philadelphia's main office for all to see and appreciate. For those who were not able to make it in to our North Philadelphia location, we chronicled the artistic journey right here with photos, videos and updates from the first tile to the last, with everything in between.
Thank you to every single person that has donated to this project; your generosity will bring even more joy and color to our lives, something that we know Art would love.
