What’s Your Art? Celebrating the Art Centers of Chicago June 4, 2011

Chicago Public Media (WBEZ 91.5 FM) concludes its Off-Air Series by celebrating Chicago’s rich landscape devoted to emerging artists and art education. What’s Your Art? Celebrating the Art Centers of Chicago takes place at the Chicago Cultural Center Yates Hall, 78 East Washington, on Saturday, June 4 from 1:00 – 5:00pm. The event is free, but reservations are recommended. Visit www.wbez.org/events for ticket reservations and more info.

In an effort to share their mission and motivate those outside their regular audience, ten extraordinary Art Centers from all across Chicago will come together for the first time under one roof. Yates Hall will be transformed into a creative ground where each organization will erect a gallery space for visitors to step into and experience. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in demonstrations such as “do-it-yourself” paper art making, video blogging, screen printing, African dancing, clay making, and more – all showcasing the role the Art Center plays in shaping the artist in each of us.
