The Mosaic Institute and Aullwood Audubon are partnering together for the collaborative creation of the Aullwood Audubon Land & Legacy Mosaic! This community created public art piece will span 85 feet in length, including 3 separate sections and a new welcome sign, and will celebrate Marie and John Aull’s gift of Aullwood Audubon and its nature sanctuary as a lasting legacy for the Greater Dayton community. The creation of the mosaic is ongoing and will wrap up in 2025 with installation at Aullwood. This project is made possible with the generous support of The Wyse Family Foundation.

Please join us at Aullwood Audubon Nature Center, 1000 Aullwood Road, to help create the Aullwood Audubon Land & Legacy Mosaic! This creative opportunity will happen Saturday, November 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and is included with your free Aullwood admission. The Mosaic Institute staff will bring all the supplies needed, including porcelain tile, glue, tile cutters, and the piece to mosaic. Everyone can help glue pieces of tile into color-coded, pre-designed sections of this beautiful landscape mosaic.

The 85 foot long and 3 foot high wall mosaic installation will be created largely through community collaboration at a series of events and will feature Glosaic, a solar-charged tile invented by MI founder Jes McMillan that shines at night. You are encouraged to participate — mosaic is for everyone! Stay tuned and visit https://aullwood.audubon.org/LandLegacyMosaic for more details and other opportunities to participate! You can also follow the project through The Mosaic Institute and Aullwood Audubon on Facebook for more information and opportunities to create this work of art.

Aullwood Audubon thanks The Mosaic Institute and the Wyse Family Foundation for partnering together to create this lasting tribute to Marie and John Aull and the incredible legacy they created for the local community.
