Even As We Grieve
In 2026, the University of Southern Maine (USM) hosts Studio B director Peter Bruun as Resident Artist to produce a pair of exhibitions centered how connection helps people navigate crisis. Informed by a personal body of work created by Bruun after his daughter’s 2014 overdose death, the project includes community events co-presented by Studio B and USM, all in partnership with nearly a dozen Portland-area nonprofits serving often marginalized communities. Programming details coming soon.
