What does justice look like?

School of the Arts students in the 3-Dimensional Design class recently used their creativity to describe “delivering justice” using a model truck to convey their message. Brainstorming what justice looks like in different settings, students worked together and individually on this community art project, in support of Volunteer Legal Services Project.

All eight of the trucks completed are available as part of the silent auction line-up for the Art of Lawyering fundraiser, Oct. 7 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Village Gate on North Goodman St.

With the event venue in the Neighborhood of the Arts, Nixon Peabody partner David Tennant reached out to SOTA and the idea was enthusiastically embraced by the school and turned into a great collaboration in time for the annual VLSP fundraiser.

SOTA teacher Susan Rudy mentioned the school’s past participation in Benches on Parade, Neighborhood of the Arts’ Art Walk, painting traffic control boxes, creating posters for various agencies, and doing a mural for YMCA.

Students named the truck sculptures for the Art of Lawyering, so you might check the list below and see if you can match the correct name with the student art work.

  • Wings of Justice
  • Making a Movement
  • Justice to America
  • Peace Rider
  • Freedom Truck
  • Bohemian Freedom
  • Quantum

Wednesday, Oct. 7th 5:30-7:30 pm — come see for yourself which is which — and bid to take one home to your office as a unique conversation piece. All proceeds go to VLSP, a nonprofit organization.
