The 3:30 Project, features 120 abstract portraits developed from an appreciative inquiry with 30 unique trauma survivors. Responding to a series of prompts and questions, I ask participants to explore their best qualities, strengths, and visions of love in a written survey. I use the responses to create the artworks.
Each participant receives a painting as a gift, valued at $350.
30 works were features at the Southern Vermont Center from August 31 through October 6th, 2019. The complete project was scheduled for August 18-October 2020 at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery in Burlington, VT. The Amy E. Tarrant Gallery show has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (I'm looking for leads for a venue in 2021 or 2022).
Update, June 20, 2020. More than 30 people have sent an RSVP; not all have responded. I've removed the RSVP button. Please use the Contact tab to send an email if you want to participate.
