The New England Mosaic invites the Western Mass. creative community to create and display visual art representing a favorite aspect of New England.

This year's theme is New England Treasures: What aspect of New England do YOU most treasure?

Donated artwork will help fund art scholarships for local students.

The New England Mosaic invites you to create one individual canvas “tile” which, when displayed with others, becomes part of a 24’ fine art mosaic wall that captures the beauty and diversity of New England life. The New England Mosaic will be displayed at multiple venues and showcased at the Agawam Community Artists and Artisans’ Pioneer Valley Art Festival and Scantic River’s Art Festival.

Artists (professional, amateur, and any creative community members) are invited to pick up one free 6”x 6” canvas kit available at the Storrs Library, among other area Libraries.

• Each artist will complete their canvas and return it to their library.
• Art can be completed in acrylic, oil, fabric, or any media as long as all components are securely adhered to the canvas, are waterproofed, and can be easily transported without damage.
• All art is to be personalized with artist signature and the completed artist information sheet included in your canvas kit.

How can I participate?

High School students and Adults can sign out a free canvas kit at the Storrs Library. You just need to agree to complete and return it by May 15, 2025. Your donated art will then become one of the “tiles” in the final New England Mosaic wall of art.

What happens to my canvas?

Each individual canvas will be sold at Mosaic display venues and art festivals. Net proceeds from the sale of Mosaic canvases will fund art scholarships and other community art projects.
