PRESS RELEASE

February 22, 2023

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots Project is delighted to announce our collaboration with Juliette Fowler Communities in Dallas, Texas where the America Connects Southwest Regional Mural will be installed on Wednesday, March 29th, 2023.

The Southwest Regional Mural Mosaic is a testament to the creative power of connection. Created by more than 1500 artists from the Southwestern states and throughout North America who each painted their own unique expression of the area, this collective art project showcases the beauty and diversity of the Southwest. This collaborative work of art is a visual legacy reflecting that 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 Dallas 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.

‘Juliette Fowler Communities is a 20-acre, faith-based, intergenerational-living environment for seniors (62+) at various stages of their lives – whether living independently or needing special services – as well as children and youth, ranging from those in foster care to those aging out of foster care and at risk of homelessness or exploitation. The team at Fowler Communities envisions a life of fulfillment for all generations and strives to love one another, pursue excellence, and make a difference.

“As a nonprofit always looking for ways to build community, inspire creativity, and develop connections for all generations on our campus, we feel this mosaic project perfectly illustrates the extraordinary beauty that can result when people of all ages, backgrounds, and talents come together,” said Nicole Gann, president and CEO, Juliette Fowler Communities. “It is an honor to be chosen as the Southwest regional mural recipient. We’re excited to see our Fowler Communities’ tile creations come together with others from throughout the country to form a beautiful mural – a perfect display of diversity and unity!”

Participants in this project include Fowler’s Grandfriends group – youth and older adults who gather monthly to learn, create, and relate bringing the ages together and reducing the stigma of ageism; Fowler’s Artful Awakenings art group – residents with dementia who participate in a weekly art class in collaboration with the Junior League of Dallas – a Junior League of Dallas signature project; seniors who live throughout Fowler in various life stages; Fowler team members; and Fowler’s grief group.

“Through this project, we hope that the participants on our campus will realize that while each of us is a unique individual – a beautiful creation who can stand alone – we are even more beautiful when we stand together,” Juliette Fowler Communities

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.

The Global Roots Project and installation of the America Connects Southwest Regional Mural is funded entirely by its participants including the production and donation of the physical mural to Juliette Fowler Communities.
