Mosaic the City: A Community for Unity Art Project

# 1 Spring/Summer 2003

Mosaic the Market

"What does Victoria Mean to You?"

The first Mosaic the City project held over the summer months of 2003, in historic Market Square, in downtown Victoria.

This 16 week 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.
