We’re hosting monthly open studio hours for high school students on Chicago Public School nonattendance days to co-create a communal place that is not home or school, but a youth-centered third space. Explore the museum, make art, eat snacks, and hang out with fellow teen creatives!
Get inspired by the artworks on display in Project a Black Planet: The Culture of Panafrica and design your own T-shirt with fellow teens. Experiment with block printing, screen printing, and fabric paint to express who you are through wearable patterns and images.
All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary.
