Uniting America for the Semiquincentennial in summer 2026 to an audience of over 2 million visitors.

Scrollathon(R) is a multimedia, collaborative creative project that brings together people from all walks of life to share their stories, hopes and dreams. Steven and William Ladd developed the idea of Scrollathon(R) through their own studio practice, based on hands-on use of found materials and techniques to create artworks of profound beauty and meaning.

Participants make a scroll that they get to keep.
Scrolls are made from two strips of fabric that are tightly rolled together and secured with a pin. The scrolls are then put into a Souvenir Tin that the participant gets to keep. In the lid of the tin they will write their Name, the Title of their Scroll and the Date. Then they will share those title and stories with the group.
