BALTIMORE--Julie Lin '99, Community Art Corps assistant and Art on Purpose's Resident Community Artist, exhibits her Kitchen Stories from Saturday, June 20-Saturday, July 25 at The Library Project, 1401 Light St. The exhibition features works by the artist as well as art and recipes by immigrants, including refugees and asylum seekers, from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and South America. The gallery is open Saturdays from noon-4 p.m. A closing potluck reception, which is centered around building community through conversation, food and sharing, takes place July 25, 4-7 p.m.

Lin, who also conceived the project, implemented a series of workshops at local social service organizations working with adult refugees, immigrants and asylum seekers in the Baltimore community. During each three-hour workshop, clients of Advocates for Survivors of Torture and Trauma (ASTT) and other organizations, including the International Rescue Committee, Adelante Familia and Refugee Assistance Program, engaged in a variety of cooking and collage workshops and events.
