100 Moments Project founded by the Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA), is a non-juried collection of work capturing a moment in time created by SAMA’s diverse and richly creative membership. This season, SAMA invited partnering organizations to the open call to create 6″x6″ works using materials of the artists’ choice, using their original designs. Work will be presented from members of these four partners in the arts: Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA), Stained Glass Association of America (SGAA), Glass Art Society (GAS), and International Society of Glass Bead Makers) (ISGB). The work of seasoned professionals will be displayed alongside enthusiastic newcomers to the mosaic, mixed media, stained glass, glass bead, and fused glass making processes, culminating in 100+ moments of life rendered by artists from all over the world.
