Marvel at the art by local creators at an exhibit of their work that presents their perspective of the “American Mosaic.” Most importantly\, take part in our united effort to heal from the pandemics of COVID-19 and racism that attempted to erode who and what we truly are: a united mosaic of American communities\, rooted in our love for our home – the gleaming\, diverse\, and culturally-rich Silicon Valley. \nFor program and more details visit the Mosaic America Festival site
