What's been going on at Confluence

New Website! With the earlier launching of Journey Book, Confluence Project decided to update its look and provide a new interface to keep up to date. Check us out now on Facebook and Flickr!
As the year draws to a close, Confluence Project is gearing up for an exciting 2010. All available funding is being funneled into completing the remaining projects—Sacajawea, Chief Timothy and Celilo. Planned for April 17th, the dedication of Sacajawea marks the return of Maya Lin from sabbatical to the US.
An Oregon Confluence team, headed by Bill Flood and Aili Schreiner are opening a Portland Office to further develop and complete the highly important Celilo site. Out of a proposed $1.2 million budget, they still need to raise $900,000.
Awaiting permits, the design process for Chief Timothy continues, as Executive Director, Jane Jacobsen, works hard to secure all the requirements necessary to build on the site. She has been talking closely with Washington State University and Portland State University, discussing future ownership of the artworks. With its cultural history and significance, the intellectual property of the project as well as the built artwork would make an invaluable asset to the educational institutions.
