ABOUT MOSAIC


OUR STORY
Mosaic is a new event venue that opened in the downtown Minneapolis neighborhood of Elliot Park on January 1, 2023. The driving force behind this new venue is to disrupt a marketplace that does not always accommodate cultures and at times charges a premium in order for the client to want to represent themselves authentically with their own traditions and food choices. The founding team consisting of Chanti Miller, David O'Neil, and Phuong O'Neil all have their personal reasons that drove them to come together in order to create an equitable space that gives all a sense of belonging. When David and Phuong were planning their wedding more than 10 years ago, there were many options of venues that they could rent but none of them would allow them to properly merge their two cultures. In the end, they were forced to have two ceremonies. One ceremony was dedicated to Phuong's Vietnamese culture and was held in the backyard of a family member's home in order to maintain all important traditions and there was a western ceremony held later in the day at a venue downtown. The disappointment in not being able to properly bring their families together to share their cultures has never gone away and led to the idea of Mosaic being formed. When it came time to seek out a partner to bring the vision to life, Chanti's passion for breaking down walls and instilling a sense of belonging made her the perfect compliment to the team. Being heavily involved in and serving the community around her has always been a personal driving force for Chanti and she has launched and held DEI leadership roles in local volunteer organizations that she is a member of.

"REPRESENTATION AND A SENSE OF BELONGING ARE TWO THINGS THAT MATTER MOST TO US"
