PRESS RELEASE

March 26, 2024

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots Project is proud to announce our collaboration with Downtown Sykesville Connection for the installation of the America Connects Friends & Family National Mural Mosaic to be installed in Sykesville, Maryland on June 7th, 2024.

The America Connects Friends & Family National Mural Mosaic celebrates the collaboration of hundreds of individual artists in the USA and throughout the world. Each artist’s painting is their own interpretation and insight into the project’s theme of connection. The overall mural is a representation of how these hundreds of voices are connected, and how when we come together, we can create harmony in one shared experience.

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. We have produced Mural Mosaics throughout the globe, inspiring viewers to recognize the beauty of our differences and come together in one united work of art.

Our Mural Mosaic team is elated to have the opportunity to have the America Connects Friends & Family National Mural installed in Sykesville. We hope to inspire those who visit it to explore their creative side and to create works of art that bring them happiness; we encourage everyone to find their own unique way of expressing themselves through art.

‘The Global Roots Mosaic Project is not just a mural; it’s a canvas that reflects our community’s dedication to cultural richness and historical appreciation. As we unite to place each panel, crafted by local and less local hands, above our vibrant community garden, we are cohesively lacing the story of our global heritage through the heart of Sykesville. This installation embodies our mission at the Downtown Sykesville Connection, weaving together the threads of art, sustainability, and community in a tapestry of shared experiences and collective pride. Our historic district will not only be enhanced visually but will also serve as an enduring reminder of our collective responsibility to nurture inclusivity and celebrate diversity, as we grow together, rooted in tradition yet branching out to embrace the world.’ Julie Della-Maria, Executive Director – Downtown Sykesville Connection.

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 Mural Mosaic production invites people from communities everywhere to come together to 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.
