ARTSHOP
Independent art for dedicated South Side high school students.
Are you a high school artist looking for a time and place to further your art work and meet others like you? Do you need more exposure to art, access to studio time, and guidance from experienced teaching artists? Art Shop is a free, independent project program designed for South Side high school artists.
Art Shop requires students to complete an application form (below). Applicants are asked to present a vision for their project. 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? The application form helps answer these questions, allowing staff to be better prepared to help and making sure this program is a good fit.
The program will begin on Friday, January 13th and will meet every week until Friday, April 20th. Meetings will be held at Hyde Park Art Center (5020 South Cornell) between 330pm-5pm. Artists should not miss any meetings. Artists who miss more than three (3) meetings will be dropped from the program. Please check with your parents to make sure that you can participate in this program BEFORE YOU APPLY!
Art Shop artists will have access to the following studios at the Art Center: Drawing, Painting, Digital, Photo Darkroom, Silkscreen, Printmaking, Ceramics, and Mixed Media. In addition, artists will have a $50 supply stipend, to purchase materials with the help of Art Center staff. Artists will also have access to a teaching team will help project development and push you towards completing your project!
While this program is free of tuition, there is a $50 deposit for each student. The deposit will be returned upon completion of the program. Art Shop students who fail to complete the program will forfeit their deposit.
