Gather:Make:Shelter in 2018
Gather:Make:Shelter donates $10,000 to Portland social service organizations serving houseless communities.
Gather:Make:Shelter connects our community.
Over eight months in 2018 our successes were made possible with the participation of over 1,000 people in Portland, Oregon through the generous donations and hard work of local artists, painters, ceramicists, philanthropists, local businesses and everyday citizens.
Gather:Make:Shelter is a community art project for the people, by the people and is something our founding director Dana Lynn Louis considers "a web of love throughout the city, connecting us one strand at a time.”
We thank you for joining us.
