Welcome to the New MAN!

On 12, Mar 2012 | 16 Comments | In Featured, News | By Nancie

For over six years now, Mosaic Art NOW (MAN) has been creating content about contemporary mosaic art on line and in print. With this website, we’re making it all available in one place. Here you will meet the people who are making and thinking about mosaic in modern and innovative ways. We also do homage to the mosaic-makers of the past whose techniques are the cornerstone for today’s dynamic explorations into the art form.

We are proud and honored to kick off the New MAN with four brand-new articles written by some of the most talented, accomplished and intriguing people from the world of contemporary mosaics. Do NOT miss these pieces currently showcased on the Home Page of MAN.

From our new Ideas section:

Discover the secrets of The Lod Mosaic with Lillian Sizemore in her new video “Lod 2.0 Above and Below”
Consider the nature of mosaic within the larger art world in “Mosaic? Non-Mosaic? Neo-Mosaic? Post-Mosaic?” by Ravenna-based instructor, writer and critic Daniele Torcellini.

From our new Why Mosaic? section:

Elaine M. Goodwin reveals how a personal discovery in Ravenna in the 1990s fueled her 20-year mosaic pursuit to “commune with the divine.”
Ilana Shafir takes us to her mosaic garden and studio in Ashkelon, Israel to show us why, at 87, she still finds “constant renewal and endless inspiration” in the making of mosaics.

But wait! There’s more to explore on the New MAN!

Go to Exhibits and you will find the complete Mosaic Art NOW Exhibitions in Print from 2010 and 2011 exactly as they appeared in the magazines.
Go to Artists and you will find three years of blog posts organized by the artists who were showcased in them.
Go to Resources and you will find links to international organizations, publications and websites devoted to mosaics.

Coming Soon!

The Best of MAN aka “The BOM” – A weekly newsletter delivered to your inbox showcasing three MAN articles and the Top Five Tweets of the Week. Keep up with what’s happening in the world of mosaics on your own time. Sign up by pushing the “Subscribe” or “Newsletter” buttons wherever you see them on the website.

We’ll be honest. Putting this website and the newsletter together has not been an easy task – but it has been an exciting one! You should know that not a single author or artist here has been paid for his/her contribution to the website. Our sincere and most profound thanks to all of them for their incredible generosity to the mosaic community. Every word, every photograph is a gift.

Giant huzzahs to our translators who worked so seamlessly with our international authors; they walk a very fine line between being true to the intent of the original writers and creating content accessible to all.

And to Laurel, Kate, Cliff and Zack at Zack Darling and Associates – What a long, strange and absolutely wonderful trip it’s been! Your commitment to creating an exciting, approachable and visually stunning website that will do mosaics proud has been phenomenal – and inspiring. Thank you.

Now, all of you, go EXPLORE! ENGAGE! and ENJOY! And do tell us what you think by commenting here, please.
