Mosaic Art Institute of Natick

MAION partners with individuals, non-profit organizations, schools, businesses and town or city managers to create mosaic projects that bring forth the shared values of respect, understanding and pride of environment.

Each project is priced individually which enables sponsoring organizations to best meet their objectives.

Participants have the satisfaction of creating beauty through the creation of a group art project and they gain a renewed sense of investment and pride in their community.

2012 - This project will enhance the beauty and interest of downtown Natick by involving the community in designing and producing colorful tile mosaics to fit into six brick archways on the Court Street side of the Fair and Yeager Insurance building.  Young children have participated by submitting colorful self-portrait drawings and drawings of trees with local wildlife. Six designs will emerge, be enlarged, drawn on tile substrate boards and reproduced in mosaics by the artist, with assistance from local adults and high school interns. As they are finished, the mosaics will be attached in the brick archways.  The five smaller arches will have children’s portraits and the taller arch will have a tree with markings at every foot for parents to photograph their children as they grow. 

June 2010 - This 42" round tile mosaic is hanging on the first floor entrance wall of the Christa McAuliffe Regional Charter Public School in Framingham, MA and was commissioned by the parents of an eighth grader as a gift to the school upon graduation.
