PRESS RELEASE

February 28th, 2025

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots Project is delighted to announce our collaboration with the Town of Rutherfordton, North Carolina where the America Nature’s Horizon National Mural Mosaic will be unveiled on April 22^nd, 2025.

The America Nature’s Horizon National Mural Mosaic is a testament to the creative power of connection. Created by participants from throughout the USA and many parts of the world who each painted their own unique expression, this collective art project showcases the beauty and diversity of our connections to one another. The mural will be a lasting visual legacy reflecting how when we come together, we can create something truly special.

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, inspiring viewers to recognize the beauty of our differences and come together in united work of art.

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots Project is delighted to become part of the Rutherfordton 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.

“ Rutherfordton is beyond honored to host the American Horizon mural. We have a vibrant artist community and this is a great way to get everyone involved. This particular mural really spoke to us as our county recovers from the devastation left by Hurricane Helene in Western NC. It represents the strength of our Appalachian roots and the importance of looking forward. This scene could easily have been a view from Chimney Rock Park overlooking Lake Lure and the Blue Ridge Mountains that provide the backdrop to our community. We are very appreciative of this opportunity and feel this mural will give us hope of what’s to come.” Leniece Lane, Main Street Manager/Executive Director of Rutherford Town Rising

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.
