ABOUT

Included in the exhibit are painting, sculpture, fiber art, bead work, glass, mixed media, as well as traditional examples of mosaics.

The art of mosaics has a long history, starting in Mesopotamia in the third millennium BCE. A traditional Mosaic is a pattern or image made of small pieces of colored stone, glass, or ceramics, held in place by plaster or mortar, and covering a hard surface. Today, Mosaics are made by artists and craftspeople all around the world. Many materials other than the traditional are utilized by contemporary artists.
