Artaic's Blog – Create…Innovate…Design…Build

Artaic recently helped Boston’s Day and Evening Academy realize their garden mosaic art project with a contribution of about 60 sqft of tile. The mosaic, once finished, will exhibit an array of flags from ten different nations. The flags represent the great diversity of BDEA’s student body and faculty.

Boston Day and Evening Academy (BDEA), a unique, innovative, year-round alternative public high school, serves 350 students who are over-age for grade level and who are either at high risk for dropping out or have already dropped out of high school and are returning to earn a BPS diploma. Working with experienced faculty in an environment that blends strong academics and wrap-around supports, BDEA gives students the tools to reach their fullest potential through a competency-based curriculum, and to inspire critical and creative thinking, independent learning, and active citizenship.

Artaic hosted the group of BDEA students working on the mosaic for a tour of our facility and a first-hand view of how technology can be used in interesting ways. Hopefully some of the students with strong inclinations were inspired to delve further into the many levels of mosaic art.
