GLOW
Community Mosaic Mural.

Rose Arts festival in partnership with Mystic Museum of Art is proud to announce, “GLOW”, a vibrant community mosaic mural that  showcases our community’s collective creativity and spirit of unity.

The mural’s artwork is a representation of the beauty, culture and history of Norwich, the rose of New England.

Community Engagement in the Mural:

The mural is designed like a large puzzle with 192, 4×4 inch removable pieces. On the day of the festival, participants will each work on a separate piece of the mosaic puzzle and create zendala art to represent their own unique “art inspired” word. The finished artwork will be pieced back on the large mural. It will be exciting to see the mosaic come together with a variety of contributions from Rose Arts festival participants.
