The millenary technique of mosaic is the art of composing and executing a piece (of art) using pieces of certain materials, stones, glass, mirrors, ceramic, etc. and applying them on a three-dimensional or plane surface.

Thanks to its versatility and aesthetic value, this technique has been used for centuries as an incorporated tool in architecture, decoration and art.

Puerto Vallarta needs more creative communication spaces in the streets for its magic to grow.

We invite you to be part of this new art project: Mozayko Vallarta – First Episode.

Our purpose is to start telling a story by creating the spontaneous magic of Puerto Vallarta in attractive and clean spaces (walls) exposing it in a universal language. This give us more reasons to visit this area and generate more tourist movement.

Mozayko Vallarta proposes to clean our city's walls that are in bad shape and project new episodes of the fantasy.

Mozayko Vallarta is dedicated to commemorate Puerto Vallarta's 44th anniversary of becoming a city. We propose to keep the spontaneous magic on the streets of our city, "Art is the key, mosaic is the option."

In many cities around the world, art is an attraction that draws many people every year.

Mozayko Vallarta is a window of permanent exposition that allows a new urban image that integrates in a harmonious way in to the city. This is an opportunity that creates a positive artistic and permanent image for your brand or company.

Be part of a selected group of 44 sponsors with a commemorative plaque with your company logo.

This is a voluntary project directed by local artist Natasha Moraga, with help of many hands. Together, they will create their biggest piece which they decided to create in the romantic zone of Puerto Vallarta.

You can see the beautiful work in progress on Pino Suarez between Basilio Badillo and Carranza. The finished work of art will be 196 ft wide and 9 ft high (60mts wide x 3mts high), consisting of glass, mirror, ceramic tiles and other elements.

Your donation of 5,000 pesos will produce a 11 x 11 inch (30cm x 30cm) tile plaque which will be hand painted by artist Natasha Moraga and local artists, including your company logo or name, to be a part of the mural.

For more information, contact Natasha by email at nat82@rocketmail.com or by telephone at (322) 222-9388 or cellular at (322) 121-0199.
