The first Columbia We project exhibit is up!

The first local WE project art installation is set to be unveiled on Friday, October 19th, at 5PM in downtown Columbia. It is a 10 by 14 feet banner of one of the project's pictures.
This exhibit could not have been possible without the generous support of 700 Cherry Inc., and Sarah Dresser, of the Office of Cultural Affairs at the City of Columbia, and of the countless people who stand behind this project. But most of all this installation could not have existed without the help and enthusiasm of Staci Lea Linthacum, John Hooker, Lisa Braman Bartlett and Kristin Nies, who worked hours to set it up, drove across town on various errands, offered countless advice, tolerated my incessant fretting and questions, and cheered.
Thank you.

I would turn around and wake my siblings and get us ready for our school days. When we would return home, the kids would go out and play, my duties were helping my grandmother cook and clean sinc
