Huzzah! Friendtorship was featured in Monday’s Oregonian! Read the article! And don’t forget to attend the opening of the Friendtorship show on Thursday (see below!)
From the hands of Friendtorship students comes I Am Here, a showcase of work that explores the individual and community aspects of identity. Through weekly workshops, planned and facilitated by PSU students, Centennial Learning Center students created work including maps, personal flags, collages, yearbooks, and identity jars. By creating this work, students explored their personal and collective identity, figuring out where and how we might fit into a bigger world.
I Am Here will be hosted at SoHiTek Gallery, NW 6th & Everett (Everett Street Lofts), on Thursday, December 6th, beginning at 6:00pm.
About Friendtorship: Friendtorship brings together Portland State art and design students with high school students from Centennial Learning Center to make art, build relationships, and have fun. Offered each University quarter, the program aims to increase access to art education for underserved high school students. Led by PSU professor Lis Charman and CLC teacher Conrad Schumacher, Friendtorship is in its third year at PSU, and is always looking for new students to become involved!
