Thank you to EVERYONE!
What a tremendous year...
“The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot.”
― Audre Lorde
I think way back to our community caravan to Margate Park last September to see Little Amal together...
And agree...Our riot of community arts happenings throughout the school year is something that builds on itself and is unstoppable--we're continuing our creating and sharing until the very last day---with our Art Lab Showcase: Marvelous Marble Runs & our Cigarra Carnavale--- a Chicago Lives collaboration and public art installation party in our student-created Secret Garden...
(What a riot--ha:))!!)
Thank you for your support. It's been another fantastic journey together! And we've already got big plans for next year:)!
BRAVO to YOU!
I wish EVERYONE a restive and restorative summer filled with family, fun, art and plenty of WATER:))!
See you at Big Blue!
