The Contemporary’s MOSAIC program is happy to welcome visiting artist Anne Wallace for a special mosaic tile workshop. Students will learn about mosaics and  collaborate to create a mosaic tile piece to be installed at the Contemporary’s Education Space. This project derives from Anne’s love of polychrome tile and her work using mismatched, salvaged, and discarded tile to create designs for her own home and occasional art works.
