PRESS RELEASE

July 25th, 2024

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots Project is pleased to announce the installation of the Canada Connects Family National Mural Mosaic in Meaford, Ontario on October 20^th, 2024.

Artists of all skill levels throughout Canada and many parts of the world have come together to produce hundreds of paintings in the Canada Connects Family Mosaic. Each artist has contributed a unique tile to the mural, representing their reflections of how we are all connected. With its vibrant colors and each painting’s style and expression, this mosaic serves as a reminder of the power of collaboration.

Since 2003, Mural Mosaic has been creating art that celebrates unity and diversity through awe inspiring mosaic productions. Using the Mural Mosaic process invented by artist Lewis Lavoie, the mission of our work is to bring people together in a way that honors everyone’s unique perspectives and experiences. We have produced Mural Mosaics throughout North America and now with Global Roots, the World – inspiring viewers to recognize the beauty of our differences and come together in united work of art.

“I am thrilled to announce that our municipality will be joining the national Mural Mosaic Global Roots Project, a wonderful initiative that aligns with our rich history and deep appreciation for art and culture. This project not only offers a canvas for artists to showcase their talent but also reflects our commitment to supporting the arts within our community.

The mosaic mural will serve as a vibrant symbol of our nation’s heritage and values, weaving together stories and traditions that have shaped our identity. By participating in this project, we are not only beautifying our urban centre but also fostering a sense of unity and pride among our residents.

Art has always been a cornerstone of our community, and this mural is a testament to our ongoing support for the creative spirit that enriches our lives. We eagerly anticipate the unveiling of this masterpiece this fall and look forward to celebrating the talent and creativity of the artists who have contributed to this exciting endeavor.” Mayor Ross Kentner

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to have the Canada Family Mosaic as permanent work of art in the Meaford community. We hope to inspire artists to continue to paint in a way that brings them joy, to celebrate connection and encourage everyone to share with one another.

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots is a unique initiative that aims to bring people from around the world together through the power of art. Each collaborative Mural Mosaic production invites people from communities everywhere to connect and celebrate their unity through their diverse expressions of art. With each tile placed in a mural, Global Roots is reconnecting the world through the joy of art – one tile, one mural mosaic, one country at a time.
