Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day!

Today is the 26th Annual Indigenous Peoples Day, a day which Canada recognizes the contributions of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit people who have contributed to our country. June 21 is significant to many Indigenous cultures as it is the longest day of the year, the summer solstice. Although these groups share many similarities, they each have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs. To find resources, information and activities, check out the Government of Canada website.

About The Fundraiser

Screen Shot 2021-02-17 at 7.26.51 AM.png

The Street Alive Mosaic Fundraiser is a unique initiative for raising awareness and financial support for The Streets Alive Mission as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic where traditional in-person fundraisers have been temporarily rescinded.

Over the span of 3-months, Streets Alive Mosaic will allow the Lethbridge community to virtually-purchase the tiles that individually make up the larger image of the art piece. Donors are encouraged to upload an image to be printed on the tile that are in relation to the overarching theme of the mural– Human Connection. These photos would presume to be sentimental in value such as pictures of family and friends.

About The Artist – Mural Mosaic Inc.

mural-mosaic-logo-grey-300x62.jpg

The mural mosaic process itself was invented by Lavoie that takes individual paintings and places them in a specific order to create a large painting.

Established in Alberta, Canada 1997, Mural Mosaic Inc. recreated the classic concept of a mural. The first Mosaic Mural was designed for a retaining wall next to an art gallery in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. Five years later, in 2004, designer and key artist Lewis Lavoie incorporated his process and other artists to form Mural Mosaic Inc.

The company is proud to be Canadian in origin!
