The steering committee of  Mosaic Visions’ “Spirit of Humanity” festival's sole purpose is to expose diverse ethnic Jewish artists and their work to the mainstream community. This festival is an art and expression festival and is free to enter. Mosaic Visions has made this year’s inaugural festival free to submit. Please read number 3 on specifications and requirements based on the art category you are submitting to. 

The festival steering committee will review all submissions to ensure they meet the standards of the festival and Mosaic Visions. All decisions of the committee are final.
