Drawing of multi-colored tears falling into open hands.

OPEN TO ALL!!! Due date for submissions is April 9, 2025.

When was the last time you cried? Was it because you were sad? Or happy? Overwhelmed, or frustrated? Maybe from relief or from pride? Was it in public or in private? Did you feel better afterwards, or worse? The reasons that we cry—and the circumstances in which we shed a tear—are often surprising and beautiful. Sad Happens is a collective, multi-faceted archive of tears that captures the complexity and variety of these circumstances.

A public art, reading, and zine-publishing event asking for student and community participation is being planned for:

  • DATE: April 24, 2025
  • TIME: 4-6pm
  • PLACE: Shoreline Art Gallery in Admin 1000

Submissions can be emailed directly to Gallery Director zmazur@shoreline.edu or use the provided forms in the SCC Art Gallery and submission box in Admin 1000.

We would like to invite you to participate in sharing some stories behind your own tears to share in a moment of emotional catharsis and self-care that encourages people to embrace their vulnerabilities. The goal is to discover connection, healing, even humor through this community building experience.

We are asking participants to submit roughly 200 to 400 words that share an experience of crying (tears of joy, tears of sadness, happiness, etc.). That said, we’re happy to include a couple sentences if that’s what you want to write, and now and then, maybe someone wants to go longer.

What is the benefit of participating?


• Participation at this event includes the writing and sharing (optional) of their own stories alongside the writers and artist of “Sad Happens,” a great public resume opportunity for students!

• Submitted stories will be published in a zine building activity hosted by the artist with personalized illustrations that students can take home after the event.

• A digital publication will also be published in cooperation with the Ray Howard Library.

• Following the event, a book signing opportunity will take place.

Copies of Sad Happens are currently available for review in the Ray Howard Library!

How to submit:

Submissions can be emailed directly to Gallery Director zmazur@shoreline.edu or use the provided forms in the SCC Art Gallery and submission box in Admin 1000.

Due date for submissions is April 9, 2025. Any requests to remain anonymous will be respected

This interactive session will delve deeper into the creative process behind the films, the impact of storytelling on rehabilitation, and the importance of providing avenues for expression to incarcerated youth.

Whether you’re a film enthusiast, advocate for juvenile justice reform, or simply curious about the power of art to inspire change, this event promises to be an enlightening and uplifting experience. Together, let’s amplify the voices of incarcerated youth and foster a culture of empathy, understanding, and empowerment.
