Empowering Artists’ Voices: Piece by Piece at the LAEDC Summer Mixer

Piece by Piece had the amazing opportunity to showcase participant artists' beautiful mosaics at the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) Committee Meeting & Summer Mixer. This event was more than just a chance to display the work of Piece by Piece artists; it was a demonstration to the power of art in transforming lives and communities.

Participating in the LAEDC Summer Mixer allowed the Piece by Piece artists to shine in a business setting, bringing their unique mosaic art to a wider audience. The artists, many of whom have faced significant life challenges, found a platform to express their creativity and share their stories. This visibility boosts their confidence and opens doors to new opportunities, both personally and professionally.
