In A New Light: What Makes A Neighborhood Well?

Temporary Public Art Project Planning Charettes

The Sheridan Road Task Force, Temporary Public Art Committee would like to invite you to participate in a series of community planning charettes. These charettes are a series of intense planning workshops. There will be two workshops where we will develop ideas for art projects that address the topic 'In A New Light: What Makes A Neighborhood Well?'. Everyone is invited to participate in the workshops. No prior art making experience is needed, although artists who would like to be project leads are encouraged to participate. Just bring a smile and a good attitude.

The artworks planned in these workshops are slated to be installed Summer 2011, on Sheridan Road between Lawrence Avenue and Foster Avenue.

Please note that we will not be making any art during the planning charettes, just developing ideas for art projects.

The charettes are sponsored and supported by Ald. Mary Ann Smith (48th Ward), Ald. Helen Shiller (46th Ward), Sheridan Road Task Force and Uptown United.
