Spend the weekend with CPAG

Openings and dedications...

First spend Friday morning with us at Jesse Owens Park 2032 E. 88th Street (9/18 10:30AM) for the opening of the renovated park. CPAG artist Julia Sowles created some pretty fabulous mosaic pillars and a mosaic medals stand for this Olympic inspired park. Every year the USOC picks a park to create and this is the one for 2009!


Then visit us again on Saturday Morning (9/19 at 10:00AM) for the dedication of the mural on the 47th Street underpass at Lake Park Ave. in Hyde Park. The mural is a beautiful project that incorporates photos of the Hyde Park and Kenwood communities. Residents submitted historical and present day photos of their families that were then fired onto tiles to be installed on the mural. Lead artists are John Pitman Weber and Carolyn Elaine.
