Looking for mural artist

One of our residential treatment programs for youth here in Eugene is opening a 2nd location and we are currently in the process of making renovations to the building and our staff members were hoping we might be able to find some local artists to come and paint some fun, bright murals on our walls.  I think it’s a unique opportunity for some up and coming artists to make their mark here locally and also provide our most vulnerable youth suffering and recovering from trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm, anxiety, abuse and more

Please call or email and let me know if this might be a possible collaboration.

Check out this page of our website to learn more about our Regional Crisis Center program (this page outlines our current location in west Eugene, the new 2nd location is located just across from Autzen stadium off of MLK blvd): https://www.lookingglass.us/regional-crisis-center

Pioneering summer creative residencies within an inspiring mediterranean natural scenery in rural Greece – July/August 2025

Residency Periplus Workshops 2025 introduction

The 2025 residencies’ program, Periplus* Workshops, offers the unique opportunity for emerging creatives to respond to nature in two small villages of rural Greece. In Arcadia,  the mythical land of pastoral utopia, in central Peloponnese or at the agricultural side of the historical Chania Region, in Crete. In a carefully structured period of intensive days, a determined group of participants use limited resources to create individual and collaborative responses, culminating in a local exhibition which is open to the wider local community and encourages an outward-facing conversation about the value of experimental creativity in context. 

 As well as learning from and working alongside local people, participants in Periplus Workshops foster sustainable development through skillsharing, introducing new approaches to problem solving and storytelling. At the same time, learning about the traditional forms of handicrafts and local material culture, they are looking for new ways of better preserving and innovatively including them. They take active part into giving the selected territories visibility as a living laboratory, open to new thinking capable of playing a key role in changing the social fabric and bring about new ways of doing and being.

Spaces are limited and following the amazing response created in the previous years, there are expectations for high quality responses.

Coming Summer, July – August 2025

Woolly Made looking for Interns and graduated students

This is Jake with Woolly Made.  Our leather goods business has had interns with the PD program for the last few years and they’ve been great.   We would be happy to take on another if there are any students still in need for this school year.

adidas is look for design students for our Summer 2025 Internships!

I’m excited to share that our Summer 2025 internship roles are now live, featuring two positions:

Product Design, US Sports

Both roles will primarily focus on Footwear design, but we encourage students with diverse interests or skillsets to apply. We prioritize passion and potential over experience.

Our application window opened on October 1st and will close on October 15th at 11:59 PM PST. I highly recommend that your students aim to apply at least three days in advance, if possible, as we often see a surge of applications just before the deadline.

In terms of internship start dates, they will either have a May or June start date and complete their 12-week internship in August or September. It will just depend on your academic calendar.
