About the WAAYAP

The We Are Also You Avatar Project (WAAYAP) is supported by a Public Art Grant from the Public Art Committee.

The intent of the WAAYAP is to reach the entire community, with a special focus on hearing from our underrepresented communities, and to celebrate our diversity. We do want to hear from everyone because, we believe that by sharing our personal stories, we have a better chance to see and understand each other, and that each of us shares a personal story, rooted in hope and loss, that has shaped our identity. 

The Exhibit - We Are Also You: Avatar Project
Along with the work from our community, the exhibit features the work of four Lafayette artists who are creating an installation of 2D and 3D works to share parts of their personal stories. When we witness each other's stories, we connect to the fundamental human experience. The show runs Oct. 8-Nov. 16 in the upper galleries (2nd floor) of the Lafayette Library.
