Description

Join us on MLK Day for a community clean-up in Chicago. How are you planning to honor the legacy of Dr. King on MLK Day? SkyART welcomes you to join us for a day of service to the community on January 17, 2022. This year we are hosting a community clean-up in Chicago's Humboldt Park area where we will be opening our second location, SkyART West in 2022! Volunteers will also distribute flyers in the area to help spread the great news about the opening of our FREE art studio! Volunteers will receive an exclusive tour of SkyART West, snacks, and a SkyART swag bag for participating. Group volunteers are encouraged to participate! Got questions? Email [email protected] With art at the center of everything we do, SkyART provides free, safe, open spaces where young people are empowered and connections are made. Our work is guided by these core concepts: Accessibility – we remove barriers – promoting participation in our programs, connection with other institutions and communities, and access to the broader world. Responsiveness – we innovate – adapting programs to the evolving context within which we work, fostering civic engagement, cultural democracy, and social wellbeing. Totality – we are committed to reaching the whole person – recognizing that every participant has a unique life experience characterized by their own needs, assets, and interests. Stability – we are a consistent presence – the “third place” after home and school, where participants develop meaningful relationships and experience a feeling of extended family.
