Mosaic is an innovative support service offered by Enliven Disability Services that works alongside young people under 65 living with disability.
Our aim is to enable our clients by offering choice, building confidence and skills. We empower and support our clients to live an ordinary life as valued members of the community.
Our iconic Mosaicked building is the first purpose built Creative Space in New Zealand and is a significant public art work. Designed by our students, local artists and the Mosaic Hapu, the word Mosaic was chosen to describe the service and means putting the pieces together to create the whole, a symbol of the Mosaic community.
Programmes
Our Mosaic programmes have a strong creative emphasis.
Mosaic is the home of ‘Outsider Art’ in Hawke’s Bay, offering creative opportunities for students who specialise in this genre.

We aim to support students to have the life that they choose and take a valued role in their community.
