✨ Friendtorship Exhibition – December 3 ✨

Come celebrate our PSU.GD ✕ Walt Morey Middle School collab on Tuesday, December 3! We’re hosting a special showcase of artwork created through a mentorship between middle schoolers and PSU design students.

Inspired by artist Marie Watt—whose work honors storytelling, community, and everyday materials—students explored memory, mythology, and connection through:

🖨️ collagraph prints
🪡 sewn “magical” everyday objects
🌟 imaginative origin stories + companion species

Together, they imagined themselves as beings building a shared world—and we can’t wait to share what they’ve made.

📅 Tuesday, December 3
📍 College of Education Vanport Building – 4th Floor
📍 Fariborz Maseeh Hall – 2nd Floor
⏰ 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM

Come celebrate creativity, collaboration, and the power of community. 💛

Art, ink, and a whole lot of connection 💭
Our Friendtorship mentors and mentees from Walt Morey Middle School visited the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art to explore Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt — a celebration of memory, making, and the threads that tie us together.
Back in the studio, we rolled up our sleeves for collagraph prints, creativity, and shared laughter!
