Making MICA an Open Supportive Accessible Community (MOSAIC)
The Mosaic Center for Diversity, Equity and Community (MOSAIC) is a newly created center located at 1210 W. Mount Royal Ave., that includes Community Art & Service and Culture & Identity. MOSAIC plays a vital role in developing and implementing programs/initiatives that promote a thriving diverse, equitable, and inclusive community. We are committed to a community where students and employees succeed, inclusive excellence is advanced, and global and civic engagement is championed.
MOSAIC provides strategic leadership for the MICA community (faculty, staff & students) in developing a comprehensive institutional framework. This framework focuses on diversity, equity, inclusion, and globalization while introducing emerging practices to move the institution forward in becoming a more welcoming and inclusive learning and working environment for all.
We are dedicated to supporting a diverse student body and the development of student identities at MICA. Through workshops, mentorship, partnerships with the Baltimore community, and leadership, we provide students with the space and resources to thrive as artists, students, and citizens of the world. MOSAIC is leading in the community by building strong relationships with the local creative communities, neighborhoods and regional organizations in a manner which builds inclusive and substantive partnerships.
