Marking Time! Episode #3. Where Do We Go From Here? Voices From The Corcoran School of Art and Beyond

For Freedoms is an artist-led organization that uses art as a catalyst for creative civic engagement, discourse, and direct action.  In October 2024, For Freedoms began a three-year residency at The Corcoran School of Art, part of The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The first installation centers on the theme, "Where Do We Do From Here?"

Mark Sanford Gross lives in Northern California, building community through writing. With comfort and enthusiasm, he inspires everyday folks to tell stories based on their on-the-spot reactions to prompts.

In this project, the prompts were the phrases on the oversized canvases hanging in The Corcoran: The For Freedoms installation (forfreedoms.org) a sampling of the greater national outdoor billboard campaign.

You will see as you listen that this engagement did not stop at The Corcoran in Washington, DC, but became the focus of a writing project at the Write Now! project, part of the Write-Up-the Coast, on the bluffs of the northern California coast at the world-renowned,  Sea Ranch Lodge.
