Coquitlam Public Library is excited to coordinate Coquitlam’s contribution to the Canada 150 Mosaic mural. This nation-wide public art project aims to create mural mosaics using hundreds of tiles, all painted by community members from across Canada.
Coquitlam adults, teens, school-aged children (grade 4 and up), and seniors are invited to paint 4” x 4” tiles that will become part of Coquitlam’s mosaic. Participants will paint aluminum tiles with depictions of their own experiences of living in Coquitlam. Each tile will later be assembled into a large mural grid, magically transforming the paintings into a unified mosaic that celebrates the past and present of industry in Coquitlam.
The project’s artist will provide a short training session at the beginning of the hour, and guidance as needed. The approximately 500 painted tiles will become part of a large mosaic mural that celebrates the past and present of industry in Coquitlam. It will also be part of a gigantic virtual mural composed of 150 murals from 150 communities throughout Canada.
Register yourself, family, friends or entire class for a tile painting session. This is a free public library program. For more information, please call 604-937-4141.
