Start: 2025-08-17T13:00:00-07:00

**Note: Rescheduled to Sunday, August 17th, due to a heat advisory on the original date.**

"Illuminating the Invisible" is an art exhibit by the [Chronic Pain Project](https://www.chronicpainproject.org) at the [Vancouver Community Library branch](https://www.fvrl.org/loc/vancouver). The Chronic Pain Project is a local nonprofit "dedicated to raising awareness of the often-overlooked experience of living with chronic pain." The exhibit on display at the library was created by participants in the Chronic Pain Project and "the art created is a visual representation of their experience of pain intended to provoke conversation and promote understanding the wide variety of experiences people have with chronic pain." We'll meet with Janna Kimel, founder of the Chronic Pain Project (and PDX A11Y UX organizer emeritus), to discuss and view the exhibit.

The exhibit runs for all of July and August. If you can't make it to this event, check it out anytime the library is open!

**Note**: This is a community-based event that we feel our members may be interested in attending. This event is organized and run by a third-party, not PDX A11Y UX.

**Agenda**
1:00pm–2:30pm: View and discuss "Illuminating the Invisible" exhibit by the Chronic Pain Project. Exhibit is viewable anytime the library is open; artist reception begins at 1:00pm in the Skamania meeting room on the 4th floor.
