Mosaicultures Internationales de Montreal

What Mosaicultures Internationales de Montreal does

Mosaicultures Internationales de Montreal is a Canadian non-profit cultural organization founded in 1998 by Lise Cormier to create and produce large-scale international mosaiculture exhibitions and competitions. Mosaiculture is a horticultural art form that combines sculpture for structure, painting for color palette, and living plants as the medium, producing both 2D and 3D living works of art. The organization has orchestrated five international competitions and six major exhibitions across Montreal (2000, 2013), Shanghai (2006), Hamamatsu (2009), Antalya (2016), and Gatineau (2017-2018), establishing global standards for the art form.

The organization's core service offerings span event planning and design, mosaiculture garden creation, sculptural works design, structure manufacturing, and turnkey project management. It generates revenue through professional services for event organization, sales and rentals of mosaiculture works, and custom garden design and construction. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. Client base spans botanical gardens and horticultural institutions (primary), municipalities and public spaces (primary), theme parks and entertainment venues, and corporate real estate, including Atlanta Botanical Garden, Dollywood Theme Park, New York Botanical Garden, Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse, and Bank of America Tower.

The go-to-market is event-driven and direct-to-client, with no formal reseller network. Distribution is purely through direct project delivery where the organization designs, manufactures, and installs works globally. The organization operates from a small team (11-50 employees) of specialized landscape architects, engineers, horticulturists, and sculptor-welders, and has received numerous international awards from bodies including the Canadian Garden Council, Euroflora, and Floralies Internationales.
