We are no longer accepting donations on this campaign, but there are other ways for you to support us today!
Students at the Academy of Arts and Academics High School (A3) in Springfield and Lane Arts Council Teaching Artist Alejandro Sarmiento will begin painting the new mural honoring the past and present of the labor movement very soon! The design, to be painted on an exterior wall in downtown Springfield, has been a collaboration between Alejandro, the students at A3, and local labor union leaders. A reflection of the history of labor in Oregon and an imagining what the future of labor will look like, the final design is a visible recognition and reminder of the many roles labor continues to play in the community and has united art, learning, and the labor movement.
Your tax deductible donation supports the effort to create a lasting statement in downtown Springfield and celebrate workers in our community - past, present, and future.
This mural is a reimagining of the "Jessie Bostelle Memorial Mural" by Alison McNair pictured here. Image by Athena Delene.
