Catalina Tiles - Mariachis & Casino Way Arch

RTK Studios - 1999

This tile mosaic was inspired by a postcard from the 1930's.  It shows Mariachis playing in front of Avalon Harbor with the Casino Building and Casino Way Arch in the background.  These tiles are located on the Casino Walkway in Avalon like many of the others I've posted about. 

There are many more beautiful tiles I haven't posted about yet, so stay tuned...

For more information about these tiles, see the first post in this series - Catalina Tile.

Tiles in Avalon - Girl Riding Fish

After my last post, I started noticing how many tiles there actually are in town and all over Catalina Island for that matter and I started taking pictures.  This one is on Front Street (Crescent Ave) on the way out to the Cabrillo Mole, where the boats come in.  The plaque below the tile reads:

            "Ethel Rosin Irmas - Born June 2, 1895 - Avalon, Santa Catalina Island - This Park Commemorates      
              the 100th Year of Our Mother's Birth - Richard Irmas - Sydney Irmas - Jon Irmas Lappen".

I assume it was created and dedicated in 1995.
