This year, our theme is “Mosaic Vignettes: Scenes of New York City” which will allow artists to design their own visions of NYC using diverse elements to create a collage of images. We are looking for fine artists to create works of art using a technique of mosaic or mosaic painting, using any media of your choice (mixed media, collage, painting, etc).

How to Apply: We invite you to submit a sketch of your design or any inquiries along with a title and short description of the concept and technical method. Sketches should be sized according to a 6’ x 8’ ratio and submitted in jpeg, PDF or hard copy format.
