The Plants & Flowers building at the San Joaquin Fairgrounds provided a wonderful space for the exhibit. Constant support from Kelly Olds and his crew were key to the success of our events.
Art from children who survived the Cleveland School shooting and a video with interviews from teachers who were there provided a somber grounding for the exhibit.
An interactive artwork invited viewers to record a selfie with the number of shooting victims who were part of their lives.
The Women’s Center shared memories from victims both living and dead.
The APSARA murals (also an Arts Commission project) present an inspiring story of one community’s struggle to move beyond violence.
Luz Lua’s art students filled an entire wall with stunning and thoughtful responses to the Not One More theme.
Stockton’s Poet Laureat and her WOW poets joined other spoken word artists for an evening of thoughtful readings.
Aztec dancers opened our Afternoon of Music and Dance with a call for rain – which was later answered.
To the delight of our multi-cultural, multi-generational slate of performers . . .
