The 2011 Symposium
Posted by: symposiumorganizer on: May 27, 2011
The 16th Annual Northwest National Service Symposium took place May 19-20, 2011 at Portland State University. It consisted of a juried competition, in which AmeriCorps and VISTA members from Oregon and Washington submitted creative projects inspired by their service experiences. At the event, members from the two states gathered to share their projects through breakout sessions and workshops, performance showcases, and an Art Gallery.
This blog includes many of the projects submitted to this year’s Symposium, published by permission of the artists. They are classified as Literary, Performing, Video, or Visual Arts. Winners of Jury’s Choice honors and Finalists are also included.
You can view photos of many of the Visual Arts submissions on Picasa here.
The creators of these projects granted the Symposium permission to post them online. If you find omissions or errors on the blog, please email nationalservicesymposium@gmail.com
The Northwest National Service Symposium is supported by the Washington Commission on National and Community Service, Oregon Volunteers, and the Oregon and Washington state CNCS offices.
