This quick summer project created a number of mosaics placed in various spaces around Fernwood.. how many can you find????? As the first phase of Mosaic Fernwood we are working to create not only community designed & built mosaics, but also lasting community spirit. Phase II is UP to YOU.. If you are interested in the idea of Community Unity and want to play a big role in making your community safer, friendlier and more artistic, JOIN THE TEAM. For Phase II to happen in Fernwood there needs to be a team dedicated to making it happen.

This 12-week project invited the people of Fernwood to think about "What community means to you." Within this theme the group found a way to mix the history of the area with the current landscape to create an amazing twelve-foot mosaic which is now ground laid in the Fort Street entrance of the School. Over one hundred people worked on the mosaic and more then thirty businesses and organization lent their support to the project. Another great success for Mosaic the City. For more information on this project- see the project journal. Check Out the Great Project Video (it will take a few minutes to download) * # 1 Mosaic the Market - Spring/Summer 2003** The first Mosaic the City project was in partnership with Market Square, Out of Hand Gallery, Lulu-lemon and Shylene.com. This summer long project, invited the community to design around the themes " Use what you have & what does Victoria Mean to you?" About one hundred hand drawn designs were submitted to the project with aprox 30% were then used in the five mosaics that are now permanently mounted in the square. With participation of over 300 people from more the 15 nations, 12 different island communities, five provinces, and seven of the US states, this first project was a great success and a great stepping stone on which to start Mosaic the City- Victoria.
