The MOSAICS Fine Art Festival concentrates on high-quality art, education, and community involvement opportunities. Over the past 27 years, MOSAICS continues to grow as the premier professional arts festival held in St. Charles County and is a registered nonprofit 501 c (3) status organization with the State of Missouri.

To enhance the overall Festival experience for all attendees, the “H. Robert Pank Memorial Entertainment Pavilion/Stage” provides musical talent and LIVE entertainment for everyone of all ages.

Parents, we’ve postponed the Children’s Village tent which includes a kids creation station for kids 14 and under to explore art through a variety of mediums, in order to preserve the safety of the children during the pandemic; and the Art Shop for Kids where children can purchase fine art donated by participating MOSAICS artists at a nominal cost.  At the Art Shop for Kids, we will only be allowing 1 or 2 children in the tent at a time in order to keep the children safe through social distancing.

For the 25th Anniversary, the Festival board of directors introduced the inaugural Joyce Rosen Founders Scholarships for high school artists. The 2019 Scholarship winners are:

• 1st Place – Brian Dunagan – Christian High School – 10th grade

• 2nd Place – Clarice Bartel – Fort Zumwalt North High School – Spring 2019 graduate

• 3rd Place – Evelyn Schmidt – Lutheran High School – Spring 2019 graduate

• 4th Place – Charlotte Davis – Timberland High School – 12th grade

• Honorable Mention – Isabella Tomaszewski – Timberland High School – 12th grade

Funding for these scholarships was generated from generous supporters who donated via the St. Louis Community Foundation’s “Give Stl Day” event.

We will be sponsoring a Give Stl Day again this year, and while we will not be holding the Joyce Rosen Foundation Scholarship exhibit at the 2021 festival*, it will return in 2022.  Please feel free to donate and your funds will be used toward next years recipients.

*Due to COVID and the extra work load it has added to our local teachers, we decided it was best to not put further stress on them in trying to organize and gather art for the festival exhibit.
