PRESS RELEASE

December 3rd, 2024

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots Project is delighted to announce our collaboration with EcoTarium for the installation of the America Connects Fun & Family National Mural Mosaic to be unveiled in Worcester, Massachusetts on February 21^st, 2025.

Participants of all skill levels throughout the USA and many parts of the world have come together to paint hundreds of individual tiles for the America Connects Fun & Family National mural. Each artist has contributed a unique painting to the mural, representing their reflections of how we are all connected. With its vibrant colors and each painting’s style and expression, this national mosaic serves as a reminder of the power of collaborative art.

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 our participants’ 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 team is honored to have the opportunity to have the America Connects Fun & Family Mosaic as permanent work of art in the Worcester 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.

“The EcoTarium is thrilled to host the America Connects Fun & Family Mural in Worcester, Massachusetts. In 2025 we will launch the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the EcoTarium, one of the oldests natural history museums in America, with the unveiling of the mural. This Global Roots project is a creative expression of the many ways in which our Museum and the City of Worcester have been connected to people and communities across the globe for centuries. We are excited to engage with local community partners and members in painting tiles for the mural. The arts are essential to science education and to our appreciation of nature. We will be inspired by this beautiful mural to rediscover the beauty of nature and go forth and create!” Noreen Johnson Smith, CEO of the EcoTarium

“We are thrilled to celebrate our 200th anniversary by bringing the arts into our STEM-focused mission with this stunning mural installation. This mural beautifully connects art and science, reflecting the creativity, curiosity, and discovery that have defined the EcoTarium for two centuries. As a key event in our milestone year, it represents our commitment to inspiring a love for both science and the arts in our community.” Katie Chappell, Director of Education & Exhibits at the EcoTarium.

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.
