Joyful Spring Mural Mosaic on display at Chemainus Library!
hemainus Art Group is excited to display a new mural mosaic in the Library street-side window for the month of June. From the Chemainus waterwheel, look across Willow Street to the library, to see the “Joyful Spring” heart flag mural. Artists put their hearts into developing a cheerful collaborative work of art during the dark months of winter. Thirty-two participants created individual masterpieces on one-foot squares, which is now a four-foot by eightfoot mural mosaic. The artists were given some guidelines, but the overall design that their squares would create was kept a secret until they completed their work. At completion of the artists’ masterpieces, the delighted artists watched (by zoom) as their single pieces of art joined in the middle to become a vibrant mural mosaic. Visit https://www. chemainusartgroup.com/ mural-project to see the full
mural mosaic, and view the pieces dance to the centre to form the design. Click on one square of the interactive website photo to see individual artists’ detailed work.
