In late 2023 I saw a post on Facebook for Mural Mosaic America and was intrigued. To participate you purchase a kit with a specific color palette that includes acrylic paints, brushes and the canvas tile on which to paint. While there were options to do a single tile or multiples, I selected a three pack and was sent Light Turquoise, Dusty Rose and Light Blue palettes for my submissions.
Upon completion the tiles are uploaded with a form showing my name and location. They will size and digitize it before it’s added to the large scale installation with art created by participants of all ages, genders, ethnicities from all over the USA. The installations take 9-18 months to complete, connecting one tile at a time to create a moving mosaic legacy. When my tiles have been placed I’ll be given the location should I wish to visit the completed project. As of now mine are slated for Autumn/Winter 2024 installation. There are already installations in New York, Virginia, Texas, California, Florida and Wisconsin. With my love of painting and to participate in a project with countless others in such a positive collaboration felt like something I was meant to do.
This is not just a US project, rather these installations are already established in Canada, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
