The Completed Vision Mosaic Mural

Imagine 135 artists of all ages and abilities working on a single project.  Think of all that creativity!

That’s what we celebrated with the Vision Mosaic Mural fundraiser project. The Council joined forces with Art Therapy students at Edgewood College in Madison to raise funds that will support our programs and services.

On March 19, we unveiled the assembled mosaic mural during a fundraiser reception at Oakwood Village West in Madison.  Guests were amazed and delighted by the beauty and diversity of the individual panels, many of which told a very personal story.

Visitors learned about the profession of art therapy, and many enjoyed the experience of creating a mosaic magnet under the guidance of the Edgewood College art therapy students.

For a suggested minimum donation of $20, each donor will receive one of the original artwork panels.  The project has generated more than $1,000 for the Council, and there’s still time for you to purchase a piece.

Members of Delta Gamma Sorority help out during the reception.

We’re displaying sections of the mural at the Council office until Friday, April 9, when we’ll disassemble it and begin to mail out pieces to those who made a donation.

The Council would like to express its deep appreciation to:
