“I am a Portland artist, and when I had the wild idea of making a giant mural from hundreds of repurposed pieces of plastic waste with dozens of other community members, the first people I thought about to partner with was the team at Social Good Place. [They] truly understood what I was trying to achieve and build through this project and provided so much behind-the-scenes support. The Collaboratory at SGP was the perfect place for us to gather in and strengthen the community through working with our hands. The Gathering Hall then brought the mural and my other artwork to life when I exhibited there during my solo art show recently. SGP has both the physical infrastructure and this soul to help me cure vision the reality.”
