Help Support Cultural Icon Isaka Shamsud-Din
We have been honored to share space with and learn so much from Isaka through his creative gifts and storytelling, and now we are asking our community to support him in his time of need. For nearly 80 years Isaka has kept the history of Oregon alive through artistic representation and public murals that have defined generational experiences. Please reflect on these gifts he has shared and place an opportunity to give to this GoFundMe. | Donate Today
