A LVC student-faculty collaborative project established to raise awareness within the community about opioid addiction and to eliminate the stigma surrounding addiction was covered by three local television stations last Sunday. The event, “Day of Making,” brought people together to create works of art representing how they and their families have been affected by the epidemic. Their creative work was covered by FOX, ABC, and CBS and the work with be displayed in the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery toward the end of March.

Adam Delmarcelle, adjunct instructor in art, and Mathew Samuel, LVC associate professor of digital communications, hosted the event, which was funded by an LVC grant.

Adam DelMarcelle, adjunct professor of print making, recently had three of his prints acquired by the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. The prints, part of his “What Heroin Sounds Like” project, are now part of the permanent collection of their Fine Prints Holdings.
