The 4x4 project is a longstanding fundraiser by the Chicago Mosaic School in which artists create simple works, often sketches for larger pieces, and donate them to CMS. For this fall fine art auction, we have asked our visiting and resident artists to expand on this premise by creating fully realized works of art on the 4”x4” scale. For those interested in collecting fine art, these pieces are a great way to start! Check out the collages and picassiette mosaics as well.
