We are Mosaic America
We reframe every neighborhood as a mosaic of diverse, engaged cultures.
Mosaic America’s goal is to facilitate communities to be places where people have the cultural humility, skills, and motivation to make and remake a shared culture that reflects, values, and supports all the identities that comprise it.
What drives us is a simple belief:
Every place is a mosaic. Every person is a mosaic.
MOSAIC ATLAS
The first step is discovering who lives among us, what assets and resources may be available, when, where and to what purpose do we gather? Over the past decade, we have developed innovative approaches to methods for mapping diverse cultural ecosystems within Santa Clara communities, then designing spaces and methodologies that forge understanding, respect, and relationships.
We do this through Mosaic Atlas, developed in partnership with SJSU.
MOSAIC ENGAGE
Next, we ask, do the programs and resources made available by public, private, and collective agencies reach the communities they are meant to serve? Are the communities aware of these resources and most importantly, do they trust the providers enough to show up?
Mosaic Engage lays out a pathway that reduces the gap between resources, program and participation to align access and accelerate adoption.
MOSAIC ACTION
Every issue in society needs an ecosystem to mobilize in order for it to be solved. No systemic-, community-, or population-level change is possible without as many entities as possible in this ecosystem working in alignment to solve this issue.
Our Collective Action initiative is an endeavor that bridges the silos and creates the connective tissue required.
MOSAIC IGNITE
While our current work has been inspired and is located in Silicon Valley, one of the most diverse places on earth, we believe that every region, city, or county that has rapidly diversified needs to find its path to becoming plural and inclusive, working towards the goal of a shared future for all of us.
Mosaic’s Ignite program comprises a set of consultative approaches that organizations outside of Silicon Valley can avail of.
Funders
As agents of change through the arts, Mosaic America wouldn’t be where it is today without the partnership of like-minded organizations. Thanks to these partners, we are able to continue supporting local artists and catalyze inclusion in the many communities of Silicon Valley.
