Gather:Make:Shelter

Opening Sep 9 The Joy Project: Re-imagining Portland with Love! A multi-media installation at Pioneer Courthouse Square. Working side-by-side, Portland-based organizations, villages, and houseless community participants will paint 100 ceramic houses. Participants pull from inspirations and experiences in their lives to explore what home means to them, building a collective vision of the city they would want to live in. A corresponding exhibition at the GMS gallery runs Sep-Oct. Visit our website and follow @gathermakeshelter for the latest information. We are a Portland-based 501c3 nonprofit that works with people experiencing houselessness and poverty through collaborative, skill-building projects in creative fields.
