Mosaic Art Collective: Our Story and Mission

Founded in September 2022, Mosaic Art Collective has quickly become a vibrant hub for creativity in Manchester, NH. What began as a community gallery and studio hosting monthly exhibitions has grown into a thriving space where artists, makers, musicians, and creative entrepreneurs of all levels and mediums come together to connect, collaborate, and co-create.

At Mosaic, authenticity and inclusivity are at the heart of everything we do. We cultivate a welcoming environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities feel celebrated, empowered, and inspired to grow in their practice. Community is our foundation—through partnerships with local businesses, organizations, and fellow creatives, we foster connections that nurture both artistic growth and cultural vitality.

From exhibitions and workshops to mentorship opportunities for emerging youth artists, we strive to provide a platform where creativity flourishes and every voice is heard.

Marcus Forand

President

Treasurer & Community Supporter

Since 2022

Marcus Forand brings invaluable expertise and vision to the Mosaic Art Collective board as Treasurer. With a strong background in finance and organizational strategy, he provides the knowledge and guidance needed to keep Mosaic financially sustainable and poised for growth. Beyond his professional skills, Marcus is deeply invested in fostering a thriving creative community in Manchester, ensuring that Mosaic remains a supportive, inclusive space where artists and audiences can connect through the power of art. My partner is an artist, and a few years ago he came across an art call for Mosaic. When we showed up, we discovered not just a gallery, but a wonderful and caring community. We had been trying small ways to support his art journey, but Mosaic stood out as the place that truly created connections and fostered a supportive mindset. What makes Mosaic so special is its commitment to fostering both new and unique artists, creating a low barrier to entry, and championing local art. I've always wanted to give back to my "little big town" of Manchester, and through Mosaic I've found a way to support both my community and my partner's work.

Christina Lopez

Board Member

Board Member

Since 2025

Christina looks to a blank canvas as a way to quiet her mind and let the exaggerated use of color speak for her. She has found herself well versed in a variety of mediums ranging from print design to painting to textiles. Growing up in the west, and settling in the northeast, she has found inspiration in a multitude of places. From the dusty burnt sienna deserts of Southern Utah, to the crystal blue alpine lakes found in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, to the coastal area of New Hampshire. The range of terrain has inspired a wide variety of work from the highest elevation of the San Juan Mountains in the southwest to the coastal sea level of her favorite New England beach. The unique range of colors found seasonally in New England is mirrored in her bold body of work.
