Watsonville Brillante is a 12,500-square-foot community-fabricated mosaic installed across multiple surfaces in downtown Watsonville — the largest community mosaic project in California history. Over several years, hundreds of Watsonville community members participated in its design and fabrication, with particular involvement from immigrant families, youth, and first-generation artists.
The project received Best in Show from both the Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA) and the Contemporary Mosaic Art (CMA2) international exhibitions. The City of Watsonville received the 2025 Helen Putnam Award for Excellence from the League of California Cities in recognition of the project.
