HYDE PARK ARTSHOP FOR TEENS | WINTER PROGRAM REGISTRATION

Winter 2020 ArtShop Program | Fridays  4:30 - 6:30 pm | January 17, 2020 - March 20, 2020

If you are a teen who’s into art making, this program is for you. ArtShop is a tuition-free, independent projects program designed for South Side high school artists (grades 9-12). This program requires teens to complete an application form on the Hyde Park Art Center's website. Applicants are asked to present a vision for what they will work on. How many pieces will you be aiming to complete? How long will your video be? What supplies will you require? How would you like the final project to look? These questions help you spell out what you would like to work on, while helping Art Center Teaching Artists prepare for your participation. Attendance and active participation are a large part of this program, so if accepted, ArtShop artists must work with parents and school schedules to plan ahead and participate responsibly.

Art Shop students are the most driven, activated and dedicated youth artists from Chicago’s south side High Schools. Accepted teens will have access to Art Center: Drawing, Painting, Digital, Photo Darkroom, Silkscreen, Printmaking, Ceramics, and Mixed Media. In addition to studio access, students will have a stipend to purchase materials guided by Art Center staff. ArtShop teaching artists and education staff aid participating teens finish the year with a strong exhibition, portfolio, artist statement and better understanding of what it means to be a contemporary artist.
