Project Goals

The Napa Quake Mosaic was created to:

• Offer therapeutic reflection opportunity for the community in aftermath of earthquake;

• Explore the connection between communities that experience trauma (in this case natural disaster) and the arts: how art making and exhibition supports emotional healing as communities rebuild;

• Offer a simple, clean and relevant design that is easily understandable and experienced;

• Create safe, restorative public build opportunities for the community;

• Document residents’ experience and specific donation information;

• Provide opportunities for students interested in learning about public art construction and process.
