(St. Charles, Mo., March 19, 2025): Mosaics Fine Art Festival recently received a $10,000 grant from Missouri Humanities, marking the first time the festival has been awarded funding from the organization.
Missouri Humanities is a nonprofit dedicated to enriching lives and strengthening communities by connecting Missourians with the people, places, and ideas that shape society.

The organization offers programs that explore Missouri’s Cultural Heritage, share Veteran’s stories, preserve Native American and Civil War history, and showcase local communities through podcasts and videos.
The grant will fund Mosaics’ 30th annual event scheduled for September 12 through 14.
