MOSAIC

MOSAIC is MCLA’s community-centered cultural events program, dedicated to bringing people together through artistic and cultural exchange. By fostering understanding and highlighting shared experiences, MOSAIC helps strengthen the connections that define our communities.

Through exhibitions, performances, workshops, readings, lectures, and discussions, MOSAIC offers inclusive, diverse, and accessible public events—free and open to all—that encourage dialogue between communities, artists, faculty, and students.

Featured: Ecologies of the In\between

This exhibition is an invitation to the in\between — a proximal zone of time and space that holds the tensions and potentialities between what was, what is, and what can be. Ecologies of the In\between is curated by Dr. Victoria Papa, Associate Professor of English & Visual Culture.

The Jessica Park Project was established in 2004 at MCLA to study and promote the art of Jessica Park, a renowned artist with autism in mid-career who lives and works in Williamstown, MA.  Originally part of the Fine and Performing Arts major where student classes in Arts Management created exhibitions, books, and catalogs to celebrate Jessica's work, the Project, still under the guidance of its founder and now Director, Professor Emeritus Tony Gengarelly, works with the college and community to display Jessica Park's stylistically brilliant and compelling art, as well as that of other artists on the autism spectrum, to many audiences in Berkshire County and Southern Vermont. 
The 100 Level Gallery is a space where artists from underrepresented backgrounds can showcase their art. It aims to create an environment that not only serves as a platform for the display of their work, but also facilitates a valuable experience within the context of a gallery setting.
