If you haven’t had a chance yet, go by and see the Piece X Piece Community Outreach Art Project on the exterior of DVSA (on the elevator shaft around the back of our building).
I was so excited and honoured to be to included on this project that was started years ago by Nancy Zboch who’s vision and expertise are incredible. “Piece X Piece” is a large exterior mosaic that was installed on the outside of the Dundas Valley School of Art building in September 2024.
It was was also an Outreach Project where different groups in the community were able come to DVSA and take part in placing glass tiles and grouting to help finish this wonderful piece.

Under the guidance of DVSA instructor and mosaic artist Nancy Zboch, members from five local organizations had the opportunity to learn the processes involved in designing and creating a mosaic work of art. The resulting mural design is inspired by the Dundas community and the many different voices that meld together and are embraced by nature. Be sure to stop by and view it in person!
“A big thank you to the participating members of our Dundas community partners who collaborated to create this fabulous piece – @tsaellenoslerhome, @dsah_ca, @dundasvalleymontessori, @routesyouthcentre and @dundaslearningcentre. Thank you also to Nancy for leading this project along with assistance from instructor, @siobhanlynchglass. And, our deepest appreciation goes out to the crew at JT Construction Group for persevering and seeing this artwork was installed with precision and care.”
