USA National 'Oceana' Mural Mosaic Design Concept

PRESS RELEASE

September 3rd, 2026

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots Project is pleased to announce our collaboration with the Kentucky Classic Arts at Centre Square for the installation of the USA National Oceana Mural Mosaic to be unveiled in Lebanon, Kentucky on October 29^th, 2026.

Artists of all skill levels throughout the USA and many parts of the world have come together to produce hundreds of paintings in the Oceana mural. 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. 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.

“Kentucky Classic Arts at Centre Square is beyond thrilled to receive the placement of the National Mural Mosaic “Oceana” installation this year! The theme of the undersea art piece conceptualized by artist Lewis Lavoie fits in perfectly with our new studio building project “Dive into Art!” and our current children’s theatre production “Finding Nemo, Jr.” opening on October 22, 2026.

National recognition for the arts in rural Central Kentucky is an incredible honor and an opportunity to strengthen support for the arts in our region. It will help bring visitors and locals together to celebrate how small communities can foster artistic expression, revitalize downtowns and transform historic buildings into vibrant spaces for beauty, connection and culture. Mural Mosaic’s Project makes it possible for our theatre kids, community members and art lovers from across the nation to join forces to welcome visitors to Lebanon and invite them to keep arts swimming as they pass under the “Oceana” Turtles for years to come!” Robin Humphress, Executive Director

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to have the USA National Oceana Mosaic as permanent work of art in the Lebanon 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 Mosaics are a unique initiative that aims to bring people 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, our goal is to connect through the joy of art – one tile, one mural mosaic, one country at a time.
