Project HOPE is a national public art initiative, supported by Levi Strauss Foundation, and built around a simple idea: the values that strengthen communities become real when we put them into practice. On September 15, fifteen community colleges across the country will transform public space into collaborative artworks centered on the phrases HOPE AS A VERB, LOVE AS A VERB, JOY AS A VERB, CARE AS A VERB, and VOTE IS A VERB. Through participation, each campus will create a unique visual expression of the actions, connections, and shared responsibility that bring communities together. What begins on fifteen campuses is intended to spark a larger conversation about what hope looks like when it becomes something we do, not just something we feel.
