Smith Gallery partnered with The Cave Gallery in Vancouver, WA to continue an exhibition they began during the spring of 2020. Their exhibition asked the community to respond creatively to the quarantine at the beginning of the pandemic. During winter term, Helen S. Smith Gallery featured the work virtually from the Cave's show as a prompt for our own community to respond. Art of the Quarantine, Part 2<https://www.greenriver.edu/community/art-gallery/> takes the conversation further as the global pandemic forges on. This virtual exhibition is a way for the gallery to support artists, build community and dive into a bigger academic conversation about the role of art in our lives.

How does creative expression benefit community, individuals and assist in the evolution of one and many? Anin Utigaard, expressive arts therapist, artist, writer and musician will offer a peak into examples of how creative release and expression can and does transform pain, anguish, trauma, anger, grief, and other challenging human experiences. She will also share how expressive arts is being used globally to address social issues and personal strife. And how the arts, in fact, have always moved civilization forward. The Helen S. Smith Gallery on Green River College’s main campus was named in honor of the college Foundation’s first President. In addition to being one of the college’s founding members, she was known as a strong advocate for the arts in the community. Now 50 years and counting, the gallery continues to carry on her legacy by presenting compelling and innovative exhibitions featuring emerging and established Northwest Artists throughout the year. The gallery also highlights works by Green River student artists twice annually. Helen S.
