Another great week of art classes! Our young artists learned about self-portraits as a tool for self-expression, and learned core skills related to line quality and color in the process!

For almost 40 years, SOE has strived to transform our community through the celebration of art. In 2015 Space One Eleven looked back over the last 28 years of that mission with our retrospective exhibition "Quietly Making a Loud Noise."

The exhibition showcased the work of over 700 artists who participated in SOE art programs and exhibitions. In addition to looking back at our history, this exhibition explored the changes in art creation, exhibition, and documentation from 1986-2014, by projector slides and carousels next to monitors and digital projectors.
