In America, the degrees of separation, popularized by Milgram at Yale, to gun violence, is probably about 2. We don't usually do workshops, but we have much respect for socially conscious social practice art going back to Project Grow.
The Lewis and Clark art gallery and curator were defunded. The school has an art therapy program, outside our regular content. The art therapy program is doing community workshops on gun violence in association with a national project. They will have a readout show in May.
"Examine the underlying factors contributing to gun violence and envision a safer, more equitable society. Design a Vision Quilt panel that embodies your dreams. Participate in the national VQ Project with the opportunity for your panel to be displayed at the LC Community Counseling Center Art Therapy Gallery from May - November 2025.
Art for Social Change and Vision Quilt invite members of Lewis & Clark and anyone in the Portland Community to join us in a collective community art response to gun violence. This free program is held over two Thursdays with optional art making at the Community Counseling Center to work on your panel.
