What would it look like if we let kids hang their own artwork in a gallery? I'm excited to announce that the K-2nd grade student artists of Prescott are going to have a chance to show us! In art class, each student has created a painting to display, and on June 3 they will have a chance to come hang it in a gallery in the Pilsen Art District.
Chicago Art Department, located at 1932 S. Halsted St. (suite 100), will be open from 5-7PM on Friday June 3rd. Their artwork will be at the gallery, and students can come with a guardian to create a name tag, choose a spot on the wall, and hang their masterpiece. On Saturday, June 4, we hope to see as many Prescott families as possible at an artist's reception for the students. There will be snacks, an art activity and a photo booth in addition to the student-curated show. Here are some pictures of kids creating their art show pieces in art class this spring. I hope to see you at the event!
June 3: 5-7PM, Hang artwork.
June 4: 2-4PM, Celebrate with the artists!
Volunteer! If you can help us with this endeavor, contact Edyta (mother of Maks in grade 1) at: edyta@edytastepien.com
