Artist Robert Earl Paige strongly believes in community participation to generate art and culture that speaks to the Black experience. Early in his career, Paige and Dr. Carol Adams, founded EVERYDAY ART, an organization that hosted art exhibitions in unlikely places (like laundromats and funeral homes) and the first arts festival at South Shore Cultural Center in Chicago.
As a nod to Paige’s community art practice and his Hyde Park Art Center exhibition, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige, the Art Center is hosting all ages art making workshops on the South Side and across Chicago facilitated by their Community Engagement Fellow, Keny De La Peña. Join Kenny and Elastic Arts at Armstrong Park on August 27th!
