Mosaic Film Experience, an award-winning nonprofit organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, has announced the launch of Nourishing Narratives: Cultivating Youth Stories For Change, a mobile film competition aimed at spotlighting, supporting, and amplifying the visions of emerging youth in the area of food justice. The initiative is supported by Newman’s Own Foundation, the charitable organization founded by actor Paul Newman, which focuses on nourishing and transforming the lives of children facing adversity.

Local Nonprofit Mosaic Film Experience collaborates with Newman’s Own Foundation to launch a nation wide youth mobile filmmaking competition to amplify youth voices for food justice. We talk to Skot Welch and Derk Baartman about the invitation for youth ages 10-18.

The Nourishing Narratives mobile filmmaking competition invites youth, ages 10 to 18 in the US, to explore what the concept of food justice means to them. To enter, youth will create a film up to three minutes in length that is shot, edited, and submitted via mobile devices.

Mosaic Film Experience, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering underrepresented youth through storytelling, today announced the appointment of three new members to its board of directors and the formation of its advisory board.

With nearly 500 students from 17 West Michigan high schools in attendance, the 2023 Mosaic Event was a resounding success thanks to the invaluable participation of our teachers and students, presenters, sponsors, and volunteers.

On the evening of November 3, the Grand Rapids Art Museum was transformed with the spirit of funk at the inaugural Purple Party hosted by the Mosaic Film Experience. Our inaugural FUNKRAISER, a dynamic follow-up to our impactful 12th annual Mosaic Event on November 2, brought together music lovers, philanthropists, and changemakers to celebrate student voices and career development.
