From Nashville, Tennessee to Madison, Wisconsin to Odessa, Texas Our Town Everywhere is EVERYWHERE!
Our Town Everywere is a public art project like no other. We work to make a portrait of every community we visit one stamp at a time. It’s all about connection and exchange and your community can be a part of it too (see contact form below).
Through a visual conversation of portraits made by its citizens Our Town Everywhere creates a space where people unlikely to otherwise participate in art-making can use handmade stamps to create their own self portrait. These self portraits are then exchanged for special prints of other people in the community. The cycle continues forming a rich visual conversation of portraits that actively engages folks in conversation about their community.
A portrait of a place by the people who live there!
