Unpacking the Fairview Training Center * Oregon ArtsWatch
Briefly

The 25th anniversary of the Fairview Training Center's closing in 2025 prompts reflection on its complex legacy. The Our Fairview project, led by artist Bruce Burris along with Project Manager Jill R. Baker and Researcher Paul Meuse, aims to reignite public interest through collaborative art events and discussions. Their goal is to 'dust off' Fairview's history, inviting artists to contribute and enhancing understanding of the institution's impact on society. A key event, Entwined: Legacy and Memories, scheduled for June 7th, is part of this inclusive endeavor to celebrate and reinterpret Fairview's story.
Burris highlights the need to 'dust off' the public history of Fairview, aiming to engage artists and deepen the understanding of the institution's legacy.
According to Burris, Our Fairview seeks to broaden opportunities for expression regarding Fairview's role in the past and its impact on the present.
