Community Banners Reminding Us That: The Sun Will Find Us

media release: Jennifer Bastian, artist-in-residence states: “The community in our physical vicinity is the community we have to rely on to keep each other safe, to make change, and lean on in a crisis. How do we connect to them more at a time when we are increasingly isolated from each other?”

This site-specific work is being created with the assistance of many community members as a part of the Thurber Studio Artist-in-Residence program. You will be able to view the work throughout the Darbo-Worthington neighborhood later this Fall from late September to mid November. There’s still time to stop by (3325 Thurber Ave) to join in this creative community effort! Come for 10 minutes or stay for a few hours. No sewing experience is required. Upcoming dates:

• Friday, August 22, 9:00am-3:00pm
• Monday, August 25, 10:00am-3:00pm
• Wednesday, August 27, 10:00am-3:00pm
• Friday, September 5, 9:00am-3:00pm
• Monday, September 8, 9:00am-3:00pm
