ROOTS AND BRANCHES

Collaborative Art Exhibition

presented by PLAY FOR PROGRESS

How can we work together to cultivate a community of healing, enrichment and growth for all of us?

Through creative projects in visual art, photography, music, and painting over the past year, our community of young people and associate artists explored themes of roots, displacement, branches, growth, nourishment, survival and the importance of connections to others and to the self. We want to share with you a glimpse of what we discovered within, about, and between ourselves through being and creating together. Welcome to Roots and Branches.

Welcome to the Play for Progress Family.
