Support Our Class Legacy Project - Harmony Habitat
Harmony Habitat will enhance Forest Hill Park as a permanent outdoor musical sculpture installation that aligns with the magical and playful beauty of this special community park.
This art installation is designed to be more than art. It will be:
• A hands-on musical experience for children
• A welcoming civic space for families
• A creative gathering place for residents
• A lasting cultural gift to Carmel-by-the-Sea
Your donation helps bring this vision to life and ensures this interactive space remains free and accessible to everyone.
