The Home Project

Opening Reception
Saturday, June 6
4 to 6 PM
Free


The Heartisan Foundation presents The Home Project, a collaborative social-engagement art initiative centered on humanizing houselessness and fostering a culture of belonging in Southern Oregon. Through portrait photography and artist-interpreted storytelling, the project amplifies voices impacted by housing insecurity, migration, and economic inequity. This work culminates in public exhibitions that invite community reflection on what it means to be at home — with ourselves and with one another. On display at ScienceWorks' Art in STEAM Gallery June through August.

Mural Fest 2026 — "Belonging"

Saturday & Sunday
June 20 & 21
10 AM to 5 PM
Free


Ashland Mural Fest invites the Southern Oregon community to witness the creation of large-scale public art in real time. During Mural Fest, 23 regional muralists transform the ScienceWorks plaza into an open-air studio. Over one weekend, visitors watch as artists bring large-scale murals to life in real time, offering a rare glimpse into the creative process. The completed works remain on display throughout the summer, adding vibrant color and energy to the museum grounds.


Come celebrate local artists and the vibrant role that public art plays in shaping and reflecting our community. There will be food, music, and more!
