On Friday April 26, Colored Pencils will host another Arts and Culture Night at *New Columbia Housing Community, in the neighborhood of Portsmouth. * Home Forward has developed housing for our neighbors in North Portland, but Colored Pencils will help make it home by creating a safe space for community members to share their culture through song, story and dance in what promises to be yet another evening of powerful human expression. The event will feature artists from all races, creed, socio-ecomic status, gender, and sexual orientation. All people are welcome to attend as we seek to understand one and other and bond in our uniqueness. Colored Pencils' mission is to promote identity, dignity and equity through the arts. We facilitate inter-cultural learning among diverse communities to uphold the dignity of all people by creating an artistically and culturally rich environment where everyone is bonded in their humanity and they are safe to express their uniqueness. Colored Pencils Art and Culture Council is a 501c3 non-profit and grass-root organization.
