Mosaic

Art in the Alley

Bailey Contemporary Artist in Residence and Mosaic Team Apprentice Cynthia Trezona was commissioned to create a mosaic mural in Artists Alley, located on the back exterior wall of 135 NE 1st Ave. The mosaic mural is 10 feet tall by 41 inches wide. The Public Art Committee created a Call to Artists in search of a mosaic artwork whose design was abstract and creative. Trezona’s mural is just that and can be described as a statement of color.




Trail of the Honey Bees

BEE ON THE LOOKOUT!

The Honey Bee Trail project, commissioned by the City of Pompano Beach Public Art Committee, aims to connect the Innovation District to the Creative Arts District through a series of mosaic honey bee murals. Lead artist Sonata Kazimieraitiene has been entrusted with creating multiple mosaic murals of varying sizes, which will be installed throughout the city.

These murals will form the "Trail of the Honey Bees," connecting the Innovation District to the Creative Arts District. The project aims to highlight the importance of honey bees and their role in pollination. By educating the community through art, the trail promotes unity and supports the local agricultural community.




Music Leads the Way

Project 2, Music Leads the Way has been completed and is installed at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater. The Amphitheater is a 3,000 seat open-air performing arts theatre that hosts exceptional artists and events in North Broward's venue for art, music, and culture. The Music Leads the Way features music themed mosaic murals.




WOW!

Lead Artist Sonata Kazimieraitiene worked with five approved apprentices to complete this project as part of the Mosaic Team. This is project 4 and it is a floor mosaic located at the Palm Aire gazebo on the northeast corner West Palm Aire Dr. and Oaks Dr.




Community

Ms. Kazimieraitiene worked with apprentices teaching them the craft of ceramics and mosaic art. Project 3, entitled “Community” is located at the Charlotte Burrie Community Center which is currently being constructed. Residents also helped place ceramic and mosaic tiles into the design during events like Untapped. The Community Center is tentatively set to be opened in 2020. Photos and information on the Community Center opening to the public will be posted.




Beautiful Day in the Garden by Steven Lutz

The Public Art Committee commissioned artist Steven Lutz, a member of the City’s Mosaic Team apprentice program term 1 and 2, to design and fabricate two mosaic benches as well as conduct a community engagement activity that will teach the community about the process and installation of mosaics. Due to COVID-19, the community engagement aspect of the project evolved into a virtual video documentation of the artist’s process in completing and installing the benches. This project’s purpose was to continue to beautify and enhance the City of Pompano Beach as well as educate the community on the mosaic process.




Sea Life

The Mosaic Team 2 Project entitled Sea Life by lead artist Sonata Kazimieraitiene and her five apprentices Sandi Lazar, Steven Lutz, Cindy Trezona, Rosario Psy, and Patricia Tiles, consists of 99 handmade tiles varying in size. The tiles, depicting various sea life, create a scavenger hunt for the viewer stretching from the Pompano Pier south to the Great Lawn.
