MOSAIC Student Artist Program<

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 new Education Space. This project derives from Anne’s love of polychrome tile and her work using mismatched, salvaged, and excess tile to create designs for her own home and occasional art works.

About Anne Wallace

Anne Wallace is a contemporary artist whose early training and work was figurative sculpture (wood, stone, clay, small bronzes) and drawing. Her public artworks are always site specific and seek to engage the viewer on multiple levels and hold their interest over multiple encounters. Sometimes, she achieves this through sculptural elements and, in some cases, using voice and personal narrative in public space. Her projects address the relationships between communities, between past and present, and between humans and the land.

The Contemporary at Blue Star’s MOSAIC Student Artist Program is open to high school students who are interested in developing their professional artistic skills and careers in the arts. The after-school program is a combination of studio practice and exposure to the business side of art and arts administration. An extension of the Contemporary’s educational programs, we are committed to giving MOSAIC students free access to quality arts education, encouraging high standards of achievement, and fostering excellence and leadership.

MOSAIC Visiting Artists mentor students in a diverse range of art mediums in an intensive, independent study format. The MOSAIC Student Art Gallery features student exhibitions, drawing hundreds of visitors and adds to San Antonio’s vibrant and rich visual culture. Students participate in the Contemporary’s programs and have access to visiting artists.

100% of MOSAIC’s students have graduated high school and our concentration on college readiness prepares them for careers in the arts, sharing in San Antonio’s cultural economy and continuing the Contemporary’s mission to inspire the creative genius in us all by nurturing artists through contemporary art.
