Emily Dobkin - Eugene Coloring Book

Emily Dobkin - "This exhibit is intended to display the culmination of a participatory project, initiated as a portion of research toward a Master’s degree in Art’s Management. At the root of the project has been a coloring book, The First Eugene, Oregon Coloring Book (published in 1979), and a goal of engaging the people of Eugene to “remix” this coloring book both in tangible form and virtual form. For further details visit the Eugene Coloring Blog online."
