Aviva often collaborates with a community of artists and practitioners across disciplines.
Aviva (Shannon) McClure founded Our Turn after 20 years of experience as a K-12 teacher and administrator. Noticing the need for organizations to make holistic improvement through transformational change, Aviva also utilizes experience as an artist and activist to design engaging programs and professional development. Through consultation, equity assessments, guest teaching, arts-integration, and building partnerships; Aviva strives to tailor programs that are the “right fit” for each client . Our Turn seeks to bridge the gaps between social-emotional learning, academia, and open spaces. In addition to local partnerships and artist residencies, Aviva has developed youth programs internationally in Cuba and Tanzania.
