Newsletter Archive

Every edition of our newsletter, The Best of Mosaic Art NOW – affectionately known as The BOM – offers feature stories about mosaic artists and events, selected Tweets of the Week and the occasional mini-editorial about the state of mosaic. While The BOM started out as a weekly, it is now an “irregular” event.  You can sign up for the newsletter here but, in the meantime you can pour through past BOMs featuring hundreds of artists by clicking on the images below.  We are starting from the beginning . . . Enjoy – Nancie  (Note: links to other websites may not still be supported)
