Our mission is to bring people together, regardless of their age, background, or abilities, and empower them to co-create vibrant and meaningful art installations. We specialize in the captivating art form of mosaic, but we hope to incorporate more artists and mediums over time.
What makes ACCESS unique?
– Inclusivity: We work with diverse groups of participants to ensure that our projects are representative of the entire community, and funding will help eliminate financial barriers to participation.
– Collaboration: We believe that art is a collective endeavor. Our projects are co-created, allowing everyone to contribute their unique perspectives and talents.
– Community Beautification: We transform public and shared-use spaces into vibrant, inspiring, and welcoming environments through our art installations.
– Engagement: Our projects go beyond the final piece; they spark conversations, strengthen community bonds, and leave a lasting impact.
–Mentorship: We provide opportunities for young artists to learn to facilitate arts interventions, and the technical skills for fabricating and installing durable mosaic murals to stand the test of time.
Join us in our mission to create art that unites, uplifts, and transforms. Together, we can make a positive difference in our communities, one mosaic at a time.
Jennifer Kuhns is a full-time artist as JK Mosaic, LLC (https://www.jkmosaic.com) who has been has been leading community art projects since 2012. ACCESS is an idea that has been developing for several years, and she would like to partner with local businesses and/or organizations to turn it into a solid program. Recognizing that she cannot do it alone, she is establishing fiscal sponsorship order to fund more projects through grants and donations, and with a long-term goal of eventually retiring from big solo commissions to focus on personal creative expression and community projects while teaching and mentoring young artists.
