MOSAIC is MCLA’s community-centered cultural events program, dedicated to bringing people together through artistic and cultural exchange. By fostering understanding and highlighting shared experiences, MOSAIC helps strengthen the connections that define our communities.
Through exhibitions, performances, workshops, readings, lectures, and discussions, MOSAIC offers inclusive, diverse, and accessible public events—free and open to all—that encourage dialogue between communities, artists, faculty, and students.

TIME: 7 p.m.
LOCATION: EventSpace, 49 Main St., North Adams, MA
A duet confronting the violent fallout of male insecurity and entitlement. Commercial images promise status, offer solutions to inadequacy, and breed entitlement. Internalized deficiency has created a culture of resentment.
A Dance Film response to D.W. Griffith's 1915 silent film The Birth of a Nation, based on Thomas Dixon's novel The Clansman. Griffith’s film is an assertion of White supremacy, and a veneration of the KKK. It’s a call to arms against the changing social/racial structure of America. Our film confronts the myth of Griffith’s “helpless white minority,” and the cult of white-victimhood’s enduring impact on American polity. Second Seed is our collision with this American artifact.
EventSpace is a mixed use venue for lectures, community gatherings, film screenings, and more.
Gallery 51 exhibits work from a wide range of emerging to mid-career contemporary artists from around the world.
Tuesday–Thursday, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
