‘We Are Mount Vernon’ is a community engaging art project created by artist, Dawn Leone and sponsored by ArtsWestchester.

‘We Are Mount Vernon’ invites Mount Vernon residents of all ages and backgrounds to tap into their photography potential and express individuality through their self portrait. Self portraits will be interpreted by the artist into stylized block prints and united onto one grand, vibrant, and expressive block print of portraits. An exhibition of the final art piece with printmaking demonstration and free portrait prints for all participants will be held in Spring 2020.

Visit the project’s website for examples of block print portraits, self portrait photography taking tips, and more about the project. www.DawnLeone.art/MountVernon
