The Values Project is a social practice, public art project that gets communities to choose and paint values words in parking lots.
Values might be the most common thing we all share, transcending race, gender, nationality or creed. This project seeks to understand and share the values represented in different communities.
In Napa we painted over 500 value words were painted in 63 parking lots for schools, businesses, churches, hospitals and non-profits. The project was installed entirely by volunteers, bringing over 140 folks together in parking lots in the middle of the night.
In Sacramento, we held 43 community workshops to choose 59 different values words that we translated into 20 different community languages. We painted over 350 values words in 54 parking lots at community centers, libraries, churches, schools, nonprofits and businesses throughout the city.
Extensions of this project include values workshops in schools and community organizations, interactive elements online and a series of videos featuring installations and workshops.
The Values Project is designed to be rolled out in multiple communities across the nation. brought it to Napa CA and Sacramento, CA; and are working on funding to take it to other cities that have inquired about it, like Chico, CA, Stockton, CA and Monroe, LA.
