Dear Community, We are still feeling the energy and warmth from this past weekend, and we want to extend our deepest thanks to each of you who joined us for our opening events. Your presence, engagement, and support made the experience truly meaningful for the artists and their loved ones whose voices and stories were at the center of it all. These gatherings are about more than an exhibit, they are about connection, reflection, and community. Seeing so many of you show up, spend time with the work, and engage in conversation affirmed exactly why this work matters. Check out more photos here! We are also incredibly grateful to the many individuals and partners who helped bring this weekend to life: Emily Baxter, for beautifully capturing the moments through photography Molly Evans, for thoughtful and seamless event planning and for serving as program staff Lori Burks, for coordinating volunteers and ensuring everything ran smoothly Ann Deiman-Thornton, our Board President, for her steady leadership and for also serving as our panel moderator Jennifer Awes-Freeman, Art Director at Westminster Church, for her creative partnership and Alexia Flores who supported the install and staffing the opening Westminster Church, for generously hosting the exhibit Cookie Cart, for donating delicious cookies Megan McCready, Midway Contemporary Arts, and Diane’s Place, for providing the croissants and additional support Corey Boyd, from the Governor’s Office, for his thoughtful remarks
We also want to extend special appreciation to our panelists and artists who came to the event, whose voices and perspectives added depth and meaning to the weekend: Dwight Bowers and Ben Newman, artists Kristoffer Knutson Molly Evans, program staff Jaik Elliott Shyan Johanessen Toby Earl Apotheosis C Fausto Cabrera
And a heartfelt thank you to the volunteers who gave their time and care to make the weekend possible: Mimi Christikawa Ingrid Schnettler Heather Dayton Jahnae El Kristoffer Knutson Tim and Carol Gallivan
It truly takes a community to make something like this possible, and we are so thankful to be surrounded by people who believe in this work and invest in it in so many ways. If you weren’t able to attend, we hope you’ll have a chance to visit the exhibit and attend one of our upcoming events in the coming weeks.
