You’re invited to an event to help shape the Albina Vision Trust - Lewis & Clark partnership.
The event will include presentations from Albina Vision Trust (AVT) and Lewis & Clark leadership to provide inspiration as you begin thinking about how you might engage with this exciting and important work.
AVT is reimagining community building in a transformative and nationally unprecedented way. This partnership is Lewis & Clark’s opportunity to do a similarly transformative, nationally unprecedented reenvisioning of the role of higher education. We will be partners in ensuring education and economic empowerment are embedded throughout the vibrant Albina community. This is an opportunity to take work L&C already does well to a greater scale, by providing unparalleled immersive learning experiences for our students while participating in the co-creation of community-based knowledge that serves the city we call home.
Refreshments will be served. RSVP encouraged (though not required) to attend.
Join us for a powerful, community-led art exhibition amplifying the voices of Portland youth and community members who are envisioning bold solutions to gun violence and uplifting hope and healing.
This exhibition is the result of a semester-long collaboration. Vision Quilt trained Lewis & Clark Art Therapy graduate students and faculty in its nationally-recognized curriculum. These leaders then guided local workshops, culminating in community-created artworks, data analysis, and storytelling from Parkrose High School seniors and the wider Portland community.
What to Expect:
- Artworks exploring the root causes and impacts of gun violence
- Visionary storytelling, poetry and trauma-informed dialogue
- Student-led discussion and multimedia installations
- A safe space for community connection, healing, and change

May 28, 2025: Community Dialogue
Questions: artforsocialchange@lclark.edu
The Let Out is a space which centers on the BIPOC experience at college and how mental health plays a part in this experience. All are welcome to participate in this space through listening and supporting each other. It is facilitated by one of our on-campus mental health counselors. The counselor is there to guide discussions and answer questions about mental health challenges while offering ways to cope while at college.
So, if you’re needing a space to decompress, learn new skills, or talk it out, this is the perfect space to do so. We meet every 1st and 3rd Wednesday from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, in Lower Odell, Rm 008
