International Foster Care Art Exhibit
In celebration of Welcoming Week 2024, the International Foster Care Program at Catholic Community Services will display art that highlights the diverse perspectives, backgrounds, experiences, and cultures that are unique and valuable about each individual and enrich our community as we come together. The International Foster Care Art Exhibit will showcase a compilation of silhouettes that were designed through a self-reflection activity by youth, families, and staff which combine to make a community…one large picture. Other interactive art activities on display will include a global mapping project to visualize our journeys and how we come together as well as taking the inspiration of Tibetan prayer flags to share messages of peace, goodwill, and compassion to promote places where everyone can belong, contribute and thrive.
The Welcoming Week International Foster Care Art Exhibit will be held at the CCS Tahoma Family Center in Tacoma from 5-7pm on Thursday, September 19th, 2024. Visitors are invited to be part of this celebration of community as well as reflect on how we’re at our best when We’re All In on building more welcoming places, together.
The International Foster Care Program at Catholic Community Services is celebrating 45 years of providing specialized foster care that bridges child welfare and resettlement services in order to support the unique needs of unaccompanied youth from all over the world who have experienced trauma and forced migration.
