Hello Chicago families!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the ArtSeed Program at Gambit Chicago's 59th Street Garden. This exciting summer program is designed for youth ages 5-15 and their families, offering a unique opportunity to engage in creative play, culture, nature, and art right in your neighborhood.
About ArtSeed: ArtSeed is a Chicago Park District Summer program that partners with local community gardens to bring art programs closer to home. It is an expansion of the KidsMobile program, engaging over 2,000 young people across 35 parks in Chicago. Through bi-weekly pop-up art-making sessions, youth participate in storytelling, music, movement, and nature play rooted in neighborhood stories. They explore the histories and legacies of Chicago's community-based artists and imagine creative solutions to challenges in their own neighborhoods.
Program Highlights:
- Dates: Every Thursday from June 26 to August 2
- Time: 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM
- Location: 650 West 59th Street, Chicago, IL
- Activities: Art-making sessions, storytelling, music, movement, and nature play
- Special Offer: The first 15 participating youth (ages 5-15) will receive grow bags, generously donated by GrowChicago.
We believe that this time slot, after the heat of the day has subsided, will be perfect for young people to come out and enjoy the activities. We are eager to hear your feedback and look forward to connecting with you all.
Join Us: Come join us for one or every Thursday to participate in our programs. We hope to see you all soon!
