Artist Talk “Homeless in a Land of Plenty – Free to Attend
February 18, 2026 from 10:30 AM to 12 PM at the Environmental Learning Center
Mark Schuman will be joining us to present his book Homeless in a Land of Plenty. From 2015 to 2020 Mark traveled from Maine, to Florida, to California, to Washington, documenting homelessness in America. In more than 70 towns and cities across the country, he met with service providers and with hundreds of persons experiencing homelessness. What he saw and learned about America’s growing homeless crisis is presented in a book of black and white film images that reveal the human side of a story too often reported only in numbers. Included in the book are a selection of the more than 100 interviews conducted with persons experiencing homelessness and with service providers.
All proceeds from the book’s sale will benefit the Environmental Learning Center and local agencies serving persons currently without stable housing.
