The Inter-Faith Council community shelter will host a work day for its public art project from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The work day is an opportunity for citizens to give input on the Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission’s Percent for Art project, which is being done for the newly renovated shelter.
Sally Erickson was selected as the artist after the project was first publicized in 2003.
Erickson is creating the project, a mosaic, at her studio but has requested public input before it is set to be finished in March.
The community shelter was renovated this summer and reopened in September.
The shelter is located in the Old Municipal Building at the corner of Rosemary and Columbia streets.
