Inspired by the themes in the novel The Cold Millions by Jess Walter, this exhibitions asked creatives “What does home mean to you?” and more specifically “How do you make the Homer-area your home?”  This show was created in the hope that by challenging the concept of what it means to have a home, it could raise awareness of the housing crisis facing the Homer area, a crisis that has familiar touchstones to the housing crisis depicted in The Cold Millions.

February 2nd 5-7 pm

On Display at SPH Feb 29th-April 2nd alongside paintings by Gaye Wolfe
