The National Scrollathon workshops in Guam and the CNMI brought together participants to create art for the nation’s 250th birthday in 2026.
The project encourages them to reflect on America’s future through art expression. Artists Steven and William Ladd led the sessions.
William said, “We’re doing a series of workshops and sessions where different groups from the community of all different ages, abilities and backgrounds come to participate. [They] make a work of art for themselves…that expresses their own story.”
Steven says that’s what makes this project unique. “All these people from all different walks of life and talking to them about what makes them special and what makes their state or their territory special, and seeing the connections between all the different places,” he said.
The final pieces will be showcased in Washington D.C.
