Uplift: A Celebration of Changemakers

Themed Portfolio Exchange organized by Karla Hackenmiller

Description

This collection of prints seeks to celebrate those who have, through their insights and actions, made a positive impact on their local/regional community. Participants were asked to select an individual or collective who they view as a “changemaker”- those who have performed creative, innovative actions to advance and improve the wellness of their community. Artworks made for this portfolio highlight the accomplishments of those individuals or collectives.
