Art and Culture Council

The Art & Culture Council was established in response to the 2023 Stabilization Center Community Survey

Scope:

Ensuring that all individuals and families who will access behavioral health crisis support at the Lane Stabilization Center have the chance to receive care in a space where they feel dignified, seen, and are surrounded by familiar and healing views.

Primary Tasks:

Ensuring that all individuals and families who will access behavioral health crisis support at the Lane Stabilization Center have the chance to receive care in a space where they feel dignified, seen, and are surrounded by familiar and healing views.
  • Develop draft project goals and artistic vision to inform the community fundraiser
  • Identify which voices are still needed and determine when and how to bring them in
  • Review and validate previous community feedback on building/landscape design and synthesize into overall design recommendations
