Arts & Cultural Commission Hosts New Community Outreach Program
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 16, 2018
St. Helens, Ore. - The St. Helens Arts & Cultural Commission (ACC) is hosting a new community outreach program called Arts, Coffee, & Conversation. This is a monthly opportunity for the St. Helens community to speak casually with a rotating group of ACC members about various topics related to art and culture in St. Helens. The first Arts, Coffee, & Conversation meeting will be held at Sunshine Pizza on Thursday, March 8 from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Community members are invited to chat with ACC Chair Jenn Farrington and Commissioner Leticia Juarez Sisson and discuss the March conversation theme: community art projects and project suggestions.
In addition to a conversation theme, the ACC is also hosting an art activity during the evening. The Commission has joined The Kindness Rocks Project, a national movement of creative inspiration that believes that finding just the right message of inspiration at just the right time might just change everything. The ACC will have supplies on hand for people to paint rocks with designs and quotes. Painters can then hide the rocks throughout the community for others to find. The idea is to inspire strangers through randomly placed rocks. People who find the rocks can link back to the project on social media through hashtags listed on the rocks. The goal is to recruit every person who stumbles upon a kindness rock to join in the pursuit of inspiring others through random acts of kindness.
