Every week, University of Wisconsin-Superior students connect with residents at Harbor House Crisis Centers, a ministry of Faith United Methodist Church, through art.
They’ve never met, but they’ve collaborated on three different projects already. The UWS students send their own completed artwork and a letter to their “art buddy.” Harbor House clients and staff are asked to respond with a similar work and a postcard. Think of them as art pen pals.
