Yes, there has been a change of venue for Mosaic Arts International since we first announced we were headed to Lexington. We were presented with a golden opportunity to present MAI in a newly renovated space in Lexington Center that would allow the exhibition to be extended for a longer period and accomdate more work. We are still working with the University of Kentucky Department of Fine Arts and are very excited about this new opportunity!
So…..this year, for the first time, The Host Hotel, Conference and Exhibition locations are located all under one Roof!
