Description

Join SkyART on MLK Day for a day of service and giving back to the community! 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 from 11 am- 2 pm. This year, we’re packing art kits for youth living in Chicago, a special initiative we implemented during the pandemic to keep students engaged in creativity. We will also paint our small art gallery space where our students showcase their work. We hope you will join us! Volunteers will receive a tour of SkyART, snacks, and a SkyART swag bag for participating. Group volunteers are encouraged to participate! Please be prepared to show proof of vaccination and complete a health screening upon arrival. For other inquires contact [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.
