Intersections: An International Mosaic Arts and Education Symposium
Intersections Symposium at The Chicago Mosaic School
September 15 to 21, 2025, The Chicago Mosaic School (CMS) will host the 1st International Mosaic Arts Symposium in the historic Chicago neighborhood of Edgewater!
Intersections Symposium will serve as a round-table for shaping the future of Mosaic Arts education and engaging international artists. CMS Visiting Artists, who are both leaders and renowned experts in mosaic art and education, will conduct short workshops, lectures, presentations, and exhibitions in Chicago.
CMS would like to invite the neighborhood especially to the walking tour of Chicago mosaics and the incredible lecture series featuring artists from around the globe. This is a one-in-a-lifetime experience as this is the first and may be only time the visiting artists gather all at once!
Tour of Mosaics In Chicago
This 2-hour walking tour showcases some of Chicago’s lesser-known public treasures that may be overlooked by passersby.
We will explore 8 sites within the Loop, Chicago’s downtown area, including notable architectural landmarks like The Chicago Cultural Center, The Marquette Building, and the Hotel Burnham.
Participants will meet at CMS at 10am and use public transit to reach downtown for the tour. Afterward, everyone can choose to stay in the Loop for lunch or visit the nearby Art Institute, which is close to the tour’s final stop.
