2010 workshops

Wow!!! we had a great turn out for the mosaic workshop. It was wonderful to see and hear all the teachers in our back studio space nipping away at tile. Because this was such a great success we are planning more this year. Not only mosaics, but mural painting and other community art building workshops. More info to come soon!

Art panels are being installed on 53rd and 55th


If you live in Hyde Park, or find yourself visiting Hyde Park...take a drive under the 53rd Street and 55th Street underpasses at Lake Park Ave. The steel panels that have lined the underpasses are being covered by large scale digital prints of studio work by Margaret Burroughs, Terry Evans, John Himmelfarb and Calvin Jones. Well worth a visit.
