You can be a part of the Arts Centre mosaic mural

LEAMINGTON — The Leamington Arts Centre is embarking on a project that will see local artists’ work compiled into a mosaic that will be mounted on the side of the Arts Centre building.

The Arts Centre’s Mosaic Mural Project is a partnership with the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee and the hope is that the mural will be complete by June.

Each participant will paint a 6” x 6” aluminum tile with a specific image preselected by the committee. You will receive all of the paints and supplies to accomplish the painting of the tile.

Each participant will receive an arts kit (left) to reproduce an image, as on the right.

The finished mural will consist of 272 individually painted tiles that will all come together to form an 8 foot by 8.5 foot mural of the Tree of Life.

The cost to participate is $29.95 per person (no tax) and kits can be picked up at the Arts Centre, Wednesday to Friday from 10 to 5, or Saturday and Sunday from 11 to 4.

Everything you need, including brushes, will be supplied in your kit. There is a limit of one kit per person so that anyone over 12 who wants to participate can do so.

Completed tiles must be returned to the Arts Centre by June 3 in order to get the mural put together and mounted on the building.

Call the Arts Centre at 519-326-2711 for information or visit them at 72 Talbot Street West.

The ‘Tree of Life’ Mosaic Mural Project will take shape in Leamington this summer.
