What's completely amazing about these murals is that this process unites hundreds of artists together to create one unified masterpiece. Started in 2004 by Lewis Lavoie, Phil Alain and Paul Lavoie, mural mosaics are assembled after taking a single painting from an individual and placing it in sequence. The painters have to is adhere to some color and shape guidelines. The collaborative nature of these paintings is what is so exciting. Viewed as a standalone piece, each piece of art can be appreciated. But a surprise awaits when you step back and see the collective masterpiece.
The Trenton Mural Arts Project was represented at at The Teen Arts Festival held at Mercer County College where one of our local artists, Robin Robinson, initiated a mural mosaic project with the students. The project was displayed at Artworks "Art All Night 2011". These mural mosaics are the perfect types of collaborative projects for the community in Trenton. We are looking forward to the next one. Artists are invited to propose any of their projects that can engage the community by contacting Artworks at artworkstrenton.org.
