Management Philosophy
The management structure of Mosaic Art Supply, LLC, is rather flat with a lot of cross training and shared responsibilities. All employees of Mosaic Art Supply are artists actively promoting their artwork via shows and other media. From Joe, the employees learn fundamentals of website maintenance, inventory management, technical writing and other skills Joe learned working as an engineer in the corporate world. From the employees, Joe learns more about local art promotion and studio fundamentals.
