Mosaic Experiment 2024's Winning Theme Is...

LOST & FOUND

Receiving an overwhelming 50% of the votes for first choice, Lost & Found has officially been declared the winning theme for this year's Mosaic Experiment.

Throughout our journey, there is a recurring theme: we often lose ourselves amidst life's chaos, only to rediscover both ourselves and our chosen kin. We misplace belongings at home, only to stumble upon them unexpectedly later.

Lost & Found lends itself to a myriad of interpretations, yet its overarching message remains the same: regardless of what point our life is at, there exists a space or state of mind where we feel a sense of belonging. Much of our existence is spent feeling adrift, until we encounter the embrace of this remarkable community, where self-discovery flourishes.

In honor of those whom we've Lost and the souls we've found along the way.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their ideas and for voting. Now it's time to take this theme and run with it because Art Grants will begin accepting your applications next week!

Alright, Experimenters, listen up! Mosaic Experiment's got its own unique vibe, and that includes some Ohio-style weather antics. We're talking sunny days, chilly nights, rain that can't make up its mind, gusty winds, and even surprise cold snaps. One moment you're flaunting what nature gave you, the next, you're snuggled in your sleeping bag, wrapped up like a human burrito.

But here's the deal, folks: we've got this down to an art form. We pride ourselves on tackling Mother Nature's curveballs in style, and we do it without those last-minute store runs. Showing up prepared and learning the ropes of self-reliance is what it's all about. It's about thriving, not just surviving, and making memories together.
