Mosaic Arts International - Chicago
March 1st – April 30th 2010 (extended to August 2010)

Mosaic Arts International 2010 will feature 48 extraordinary works of mosaic art, in 2D, 3D, and architectural categories.

The MAI exhibition offers more prize money than any other international mosaic arts exhibition, with awards totaling $5000.

Award winners: Best in Show, John Sollinger for Radiance Best 2D, Diana Stevens for Indian Madonna Best 3D, Kate Jessup for Cedar Stump Best Architectural, Dianne Sonnenberg for Ocean(egg)graphy

Juror's Choice Awards Oliver Budd: Michael J. Kruzich for Corinthian Juan Chavez: Connie Chantilis for Grotto Janet Kozachek: Ilana Shafir for Temples

The show will this year be at The Smith Museum of Stained Glass at Chicago's Navy Pier, where the exhibition is expected to attract approximately 80,000 visitors during the two month run.

This is a different kind of a venue for MAI; it is not one of the traditional white-walled gallery spaces that have showcased mosaic works in the past. This exhibition will feature work placed throughout the museum, presented in lighted, glass-walled cases.

The exhibition is an important milestone in SAMA's history that will underscore SAMA's 10 year legacy of dedication to educating, inspiring, and promoting excellence in fine mosaic art.

PHARMA'S MARKET
a flower and produce show

by Cleo Mussi

at The Museum in the Park Gallery, Stroud, England

4 July - 21 August 2010

‘Pharma’s Market’ is a mosaic installation exploring the contrasting imagery of historical and contemporary farming. Although the setting of the exhibition is a traditional agricultural fair, visitors will experience an exhibition with a distinctly contemporary twist. Cleo Mussi has an engaging story to tell, and her characters, from life-sized ‘robo-rabbits’ to ‘space scientists’ and ‘bucolic farmers', all jostle for their part in the plot. Her mosaics are made from recycled china, and her stories are derived from the real world of science and medicine, albeit reconstructed through the process of her own particular visual imagination and surreal sense of humour.

The Museum in the Park, Stratford Park, Stroud GL5 4AF
