How can art serve as a tool for community engagement and connection? How does art reflect or challenge the cultural and societal issues reflected in various Chicago communities? What are some barriers to accessing art education and how can they be overcome?
Join Gallery 400 in partnership with the UIC Disability Cultural Center (DCC) for a virtual tour of Learning Together: Art, Education, and Community. Led by gallery staff and DCC Director Margaret Fink, this virtual tour explores the histories, pedagogies, and importance of art education in Chicago. Gallery 400 and DCC Director Magaret Fink highlight various archival materials and ephemera to reflect on the impact of arts education in building community.
This program is free and open to the public. Registration is required. For questions and access accommodations, email gallery400engagement@gmail.com.
