Crawl visitors have the opportunity to get to know local artist PJ Patten and learn about the work he is doing as one of the two resident visual artists in the Changing the Conversation project.

Changing the Conversation is a three-year project that examines how public spaces and public art can facilitate a healthier discourse about housing in the community.

By working with those that are either homeless, precariously housed, and working on the front lines of harm reduction and supportive housing, PJ hopes his contribution to the Changing the Conversation Exhibition as an opportunity to give those who might not be heard a chance to share their experiences from dealing with the housing crisis.  Pieces shown in this exhibit were either created directly by people living and working in this growing problem or through collaboration with PJ.
