Mosaic The City - Community Unity Society, Shylene Schlackl, Victoria

The first Mosaic the City project was in partnership with Market Square, Out of Hand Gallery, Lulu-lemon and Shylene.com.

This summer long project, invited the community to design around the themes " Use what you have & what does Victoria Mean to you?" About one hundred hand drawn designs were submitted to the project with aprox 30% were then used in the five mosaics that are now permanently mounted in the square.

With participation of over 300 people from more the 15 nations, 12 different island communities, five provinces, and seven of the US states, this first project was a great success and a great stepping stone on which to start Mosaic the City- Victoria

#2 Central Middle School's Community Unity Project - Winter/Spring 2004
This was the second project for MtC, in partnership with School district 61, Grace Lutheran Church, Local 730 of the International Association of Firefighters, and Artisan Tile.

This 12-week project invited the people of Fernwood to think about "What community means to you." Within this theme the group found a way to mix the history of the area with the current landscape to create an amazing twelve-foot mosaic which is now ground laid in the Fort Street entrance of the School.

Over one hundred people worked on the mosaic and more then thirty businesses and organization lent their support to the project. Another great success for Mosaic the City.
