Sanctuary of Solace: Class of '26 Student Project Sharing

The 2026 class of the Arts and Social Justice Fellowship invites you to Solace, a teen-created multimedia installation exploring themes of identity, home, safety, and connection. This one-day public event transforms Strathmore’s Mansion Galleries into spaces for reflection, conversation, and engagement, addressing the loneliness epidemic, a lack of third spaces, and disconnection due to technology. Built collaboratively by the cohort with input from nearly 45 teens, the installation is the class’s collective way to create connection. Fellows will host a panel discussion on their artistic process and share calls to action with the audience, offering opportunities for attendees to share their own experiences.
