Join us for a concluding program reflecting on the “I am Grateful for You” postcard initiative, a year-long partnership between Anne Labovitz’s I Love You Institute and the Women’s Caucus for Art. This session will highlight how artists, WCA chapters, and community members embraced this nomadic, socially engaged project—using small, handmade gestures to foster connection and care.

Since its launch on Valentine’s Day 2025 at the College Art Association Conference, the project has distributed over 1,500 postcards across the country. Participants will discuss the impact of engaging in gratitude as a radical act.

This final gathering also marks a transition: the project will move online, offering downloadable postcard templates so individuals and communities can continue the work independently. By expanding access, the “I am Grateful for You” project remains an open invitation to participate in radical acts of kindness——anytime, anywhere.

Seven years ago today, Mayor Emily Larson declared Anne Labovitz Day in Duluth, Minnesota. I’m still humbled and grateful.

122 Conversations: Person to Person, Art Beyond Borders began with listening — real dialogue with people across Duluth’s five sister cities, spanning four continents, united by art building peace one individual at a time.

From those conversations, an exhibition was born. It traveled to Thunder Bay, Canada; Växjö, Sweden; Petrozavodsk, Russia; Isumi-City, Japan; and Rania, Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and to Washington, D.C. and Kansas, lived at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport for five years, and is currently installed at the Minnesota State Capitol.

Thank you to every single person who was part of this journey.
