Art Grant, Effigy, & Temple Grants Application Deadline Extended to August 18th

/

Currently we've only had 3 applications for an Art Grant submitted to the selection committee and no Effigy or Temple applications!

This is a big problem as without these applications, we will have no Effigy, no Temple, and very little art at Mosaic this year.

To help prevent this from happening, we've extended the deadline for applications to Sunday, August 18th, 2024 for Art Grants, Effigy, and Temple.

That way, those of you that are attending Lakes this year can also get a chance to decomp and submit your applications with plenty of time to write up your ideas.

So head on over to the Art Grants Page before August 18th for your shot at getting a grant to create something truly inspiring for Mosaic Experiment 2024: Lost & Found!

Mosaic Experiment 2024's Winning Theme Is...

/

LOST & FOUND

Receiving an overwhelming 50% of the votes for first choice, Lost & Found has officially been declared the winning theme for this year's Mosaic Experiment.

Throughout our journey, there is a recurring theme: we often lose ourselves amidst life's chaos, only to rediscover both ourselves and our chosen kin. We misplace belongings at home, only to stumble upon them unexpectedly later.

Lost & Found lends itself to a myriad of interpretations, yet its overarching message remains the same: regardless of what point our life is at, there exists a space or state of mind where we feel a sense of belonging. Much of our existence is spent feeling adrift, until we encounter the embrace of this remarkable community, where self-discovery flourishes.

In honor of those whom we've Lost and the souls we've found along the way.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their ideas and for voting. Now it's time to take this theme and run with it because Art Grants will begin accepting your applications next week!

Vote For Mosaic 2024's Theme!

/

We received a lot of great theme submissions this year from all of you out in the community and after narrowing them down to our top five, it's your turn to cast your votes to determine what theme this year's Experiment will be!

Head over to the voting form before 8:00pm on Saturday, April 20th and pick our theme!

So what themes are you voting on?

Lost and Found

We lose ourselves in life and then we find ourselves and our chosen family. We lose our stuff at home and then we find it later when we least expect it.

There are so many ways this theme can be interpreted but the overall message is that no matter where we are in life, there is a place or a mindset that is out there, that will help us feel like we belong. We spend so much of our time feeling lost. Then we find this beautiful community where we find ourselves.

In memory of Lost and to those we've found.

Suspend Reality

Mad Marionettists mashed up with psychedelic Salvador Dalis thereby creating a surreal dimension. Everything comes with a twist. Many types of swingers hanging around... Somehow it all looks familiar but just isn't. You neek, you forick, you nanamus, you reeka!

Mosaic's "Suspend Reality" theme encourages participants to step outside of their comfort zones and explore new perspectives, whether through art, music, performance, or other forms of expression.

This theme encourages participants to let go of their preconceptions and to fully immerse themselves in the moment, to be present and open to the endless possibilities of the Mosaic Experiment, where participants can discover new dimensions of themselves and the world around them.

Perchance to Dream

Be it daydreams or nightmares, all that exists in our world first existed in someone's dream. As we sleep our dreams allow us to imagine all of creation, from fantastical universes and inventions to creatures and landscapes unknown.

Whether light or dark, colorful or monochromatic, if we embrace this power of dreaming - what communal dreamscapes can we create?

Labyrinth of Reflection

Labyrinth of Reflection beckons participants to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery within the intricate maze of their own minds. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Jungian psychology, this theme invites attendees to navigate through the labyrinthine corridors of their psyche, delving into the depths of their subconscious and confronting the shadows that dwell within.

Throughout Mosaic Experiment 2024, immersive art installations will serve as portals to the inner realms, offering poignant reflections of the multifaceted nature of the human psyche. These creations will challenge participants to explore their own complexities, prompting introspection and self-examination. Guided workshops and interactive experiences will provide opportunities for individuals to engage in shadow work, shedding light on the aspects of themselves that have long been concealed or neglected.

Through transformative processes and group discussions, attendees will confront their fears, acknowledge their vulnerabilities, and embrace the full spectrum of their being. As participants navigate the twists and turns of the labyrinth, they will encounter moments of revelation and insight, each turn offering a new perspective on the journey of self-discovery.

Ultimately, Labyrinth of Reflection serves as a catalyst for personal growth and inner transformation, inviting attendees to emerge from the shadows with a deeper understanding of themselves and the human experience.

Port of Call

The first rise of a campfire in the distance, a bird carrying a bit of leaves, the mountain you always look upon when you wake up in the morning..... After the long journey you finally have arrived and can put yourself to port for the first time in a while. How long have you been gone? Did you miss someone? Did no one miss you? Has anything changed? What will be the first thing you do after leaving the cramped quarters of your vessel?

We invite you to drop anchor and realize that you've made it. Though not everything might be better here, at the very least it will be different. Now stretch your legs and head to the place you've been dreaming of your whole long trip. Both good and bad have been waiting for you....
