Ontario Mosaic Artists was formed as a non-profit collective in 2020 by a group of friends – Amanda Stapells, Angèle Blasutti, Elena Martoglio, Mehtap Mertdogan, Patrizia Brasch and Valerie McGarry – all like-minded mosaic artists from Ontario who share the passion of creating mosaic art. Dedicated to preserving this ancient art form, we challenge its traditional boundaries by creating contemporary fine art mosaics in our own distinctive styles.
Ontario Mosaic Artists’ purpose is to host exhibitions of the artwork done by mosaic artists from all over Ontario in order to promote mosaics as a contemporary art form and to showcase the array of materials, styles, techniques, mediums, and dimensions used to put a modern spin on the ancient art form.
Our first exhibition – Andamento: Re-inventing the Ancient Mosaic Flow in a Contemporary Style – was at the Leslie Grove Gallery in Toronto from August 25th to September 12th, 2021.
OMA’s second exhibition – Putting the Pieces Back Together – was at the Leslie Grove Gallery, from October 5th – October 30th, 2022.
Coming to Leslie Grove Gallery, is OMA’s third exhibition – Reflections – from November 13th – December 1st, 2024.
Moving forward, Ontario Mosaic Artists hosts exhibitions every two years.
