OPIOCOLOR is keen to be involved in cultural, educatio-nal and welfare projects aiming to reintroduce mosaics as an art in the city life. The company is regularly co-operating with schools,associations and organisations, in several artistic and cultural projects, providing mosaics and technical assis- tance to mosaic workshops.Among these actions, some examples: “MOSAIC AND URBAN VISION”An example of reintroducing mosaics in the city In 2002, OPIOCOLOR launched an artistic competitionfor young people from schools and cultural associations, on the theme “Nice, my city”, in partnership with Nice commercial association (ACCV), the Economic Agency of the city and the University. More than 200 young creators submitted their projects,and the 10 best works selected by the Jury, were produ- ced as mosaic murals by OPIOCOLOR as a sponsor. These mosaic murals are to be permanently displayed on building façades of the city of Nice, to enhance the urban environment.This was a wonderful opportunity to incorporate youngpeople’s talent in the social and cultural life, and a good opportunity for the company to encourage and promote mosaic artwork.
