The world offers itself to your imagination – Mary Oliver
When I heard that MOSAIC was ready for a new life in this world, it captured my imagination. As a reader of the magazine for the near-twenty years I have lived in Grey Bruce / Saukiing Anishnaabekiing, I appreciated its mix of art, culture, and community. The timing was right, also, as I was eager to find a new place to work, grow, and expand creatively.
The magazine now has a slightly different look; one that is more art-forward.
MOSAIC will always follow the vision set out by Vi Bland, and carried forward by Maryann Thomas, to promote and support the arts and community of Grey Bruce. We have updated the magazine with a more distinct look, and plan to focus on profiling the artists, communities, and creative businesses that define our region.
Much like some of the people you’ll read about in this issue, who have brought their own creative passions to Grey Bruce — be that through painting, restaurants, bookbinding, labyriths, or arts programming — I hope MOSAIC will continue to enrich and support our creative communities.
This issue marks the first step in a new life for MOSAIC. I hope you’ll join us!
