“Our Heroes, Our Values”
A Community Art Display
Objective
The objective of this project is to obtain submitted art (two dimensional) from MLC school community as well as the greater neighborhood community surrounding MLC. Whether it is a painting, drawing, or digital art, the approved submitted piece will then be UV printed onto a plastic board (for a greater longevity) and affixed to the chain-link fence surrounding the MLC school. The theme is “Our Heroes, Our Values,” which is a reflection and celebration of our community’s moral foundations in racial justice, climate justice, LGBTQ+ issues, disability rights, and community care.
Goals
The goals of this project are to strengthen the ties that bond us all, especially those ties in the NW Portland community. We believe that art has the power to heal and bring us together. This project goes across (most) ages, economic backgrounds, racial identity, and gender identity to show that despite those differences, we are one.
Submitting Your Art
Thank you for your consideration in submitting your art. Requirements for art submission are as follows:
When we review submitted art, we are first and foremost, looking for the above requirements. Beyond that, we are choosing the best works submitted across the abilities and ages to accommodate our resources for UV printing. As MLC’s beloved kinder teacher Avril would say, give us your “best work.” Some works may be chosen to be re-printed in sizes larger than 8”x12”.
