About Public Social University

Public Social University began in 2008 as a collaborative project in Harrell Fletcher's Art & Social Practice class at Portland State University. The first three Public Social University events were loosely organized forums for idea and skill sharing at Portland Oregon's Central Public Library. In 2009, Public Social University organized free/all ages events in Portland art galleries: Food, Water, Apocalypse, Friendship, Healing, and Oral Histories, presenting attendees with the best array of workshops, discussions, presentations and activities on the respective themes as possible. Culled from Portland's rich community, artists, experts, and academicians alike volunteered their time, knowledge and energy. Additionally, Public Social University Co-Directors Rozzell Medina and Judy Fleming installed exhibits in Portland's MK and White Galleries, organized a free/all ages community event in San Francisco's Dolores Park, and won November's STOCK Grant.

Upcoming Events/Get Involved and Stay Involved!

Public Social University has learned a lot from its presenters and enthusiasts, and like them, we are anxious to change and grow!

In 2009, we focussed the majority of our time, effort, and love on organizing themed free/all ages events in art galleries. We still have several themes we want to explore via this format and variations thereof. We are also interested in making other kinds of great things happen.
