A “mosaic” is a piece of art or image made from the assemblage of small pieces. The small pieces are usually broken and shattered or otherwise tossed aside and assumed to have no value. The idea behind the “Mosaic” event is to create a space that brings all of those broken and beautiful pieces together to build something new. Pieces of all different shapes, sizes, and brokenness can come together to tell a new story.
“Mosaic 2018” will be an interactive and inspiring gathering that will feature a live and in-person interview with WJCT’s “First Coast Connect” host/producer Melissa Ross and award-winning writer and “Selfie Queen of Jacksonville”, Kerry Speckman. Mosaic will include food & drink, inspiring entertainment, interactive art activities and the launch for the TheStudio:JAX concept.
Mosaic will be a beautiful Spring rooftop event held at the Museum of Science and History (MOSH) and emceed by Jacksonville’s beloved Robert “Bob” White. You will not only be mesmerized by the evening’s entertainment but a self-tour of the museum’s current event “Science Fiction, Science Future” is included in your ticket price.
Guests will enjoy the following:
|| Real-time “live” interview with Melissa Ross & Kerry “The Specktator” Speckman
|| Spoken word poetry by A.S. Minor
|| Music by Stacey Bennett from Folk is People
|| Food & Drink
|| Interactive mosaic
|| Silent art auction with art by local professional artists
|| Rooftop selfies at sunset and a little activity we like to call “Smash Stuff, facilitated by Indigo Art Therapy Studio LLC
In collaboration with Where Is The Sunshine & I Still Matter, TheStudio:JAX will be Jacksonville’s first supportive arts center to strengthen the skills of artists and creatives living with mental health challenges by providing fine arts education, skills training to encourage artist entrepreneurship, along with wellness recovery training and support groups for the community.
