Bringing Cape Cod Together Piece By PieceThis mixed-media mural of Cape Cod was made possible by the collaborative efforts of 150 creative individuals living with disabilities, their affiliated organizations, as well as local artists, teachers and businesses.

About CapeCodCAN! The Cape Cod Collaborative Arts Network (CapeCodCAN!) is a Cape Cod–based, non-profit organization dedicated to providing inclusive art, music, and theater programs for individuals living with disabilities. CapeCodCAN! operates under fiscal sponsorship of VSA Massachusetts, The State Organization on Arts and Disabilities, an Affiliate of Seven Hills Foundation.

ProcessIn the Fall of 2014, under CapeCodCAN!’s Art is for Everyone Program, nearly 150 people with disabilities under the tutelage of local Cape artists in 14 different locations developed the collaborative mosaic “Bringing Cape Cod Together, Piece by Piece”.

For this collaborative project, Artist & CapeCodCAN! Art Director, Tessa D’Agostino worked with local artist & CapeCodCAN! Mosaic Director Cris Reverdy to design and coordinate the nearly 300 6”x6” squares that make up the 9’x8’ mural. Artists, teachers and organizational staff in 14 participating groups, facilitated the creative process of adorning the tiles. Each student used materials of their choice to uniquely design and fill their mural squares while matching to color patterns on their tiles. Once the tiles were completed, they were collected and reassembled into five mural segments.
