Our connection to the university runs deep! The Multicultural Children's Art Museum and Education Center (MCAM&EC) is a local, non-profit organization that was founded by University of Oregon alumni. Over the years numerous members of University of Oregon faculty and staff have been involved in our organization. We serve the broader Eugene-Springfield community and many of our families are associated with the university. We are proud to present several works created in our studio by the children of University of Oregon families. This show is part of the fourth annual Multicultural Children's Art Exhibit organized by Multicultural Children's Art Museum and Education Center. Many of these young artists come from multicultural, multilingual families; these artists naturally integrate their American experience and ancestral background.
Artist statement Social Justice Revisited spans five decades of select artwork (1968 – 2019): remembering, reliving, resisting. This series raises questions about personal and political relationships concerning how we live, what we have done, and what we need to do individually and collectively for peace and global survival.
