PRESS RELEASE

April 8th, 2026

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots Project is delighted to announce our collaboration with Quinte Arts Council in Belleville, Ontario where the Canada Connects Nature’s Canvas National Mural will be unveiled on June 2nd, 2026.

This Canada Connects National Mural is a one-of-a-kind art collaboration bringing together hundreds of artists in Canada and throughout the world to paint a tile representing our global connections to one another. This visual legacy mural reflects the beauty and power of collaboration, and shows us that when we come together, we can create a remarkable lasting artistic reminder of our shared experiences.

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. They 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.

“This mural is a powerful reflection of what happens when a community comes together with creativity and pride. We’ve seen incredible enthusiasm from participants at every level—two full classrooms, including a kindergarten and a Grade 5 class, alongside professional artists and community members who simply wanted to be part of something big. That collective energy is what makes this project so meaningful. Installed at the vibrant corner of Front Street and Pinnacle Street, the mural will not only transform the space but stand as a lasting symbol of collaboration, belonging, and the creative spirit that defines Belleville and the Bay of Quinte.”
— Janet Jarrell, Executive Director, Quinte Arts Council

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots Project is delighted to become part of the Belleville community, to have the opportunity to inspire artists and aspiring artists of the future with this remarkable mural. We hope that it will serve as a source of inspiration for those who view it, and that it will encourage them to explore their creative potential.

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.
