🎨 Here are some Highlights from our Guest Artist-Led Workshop, “Handmade Prints for Homemade Books”, at the The Art Center in Highland Park📚 “The workshop was an absolute blast! A massive shoutout to Molly Jean Sheffield for sharing her passion with us. We couldn't have asked for a better guest artist! She brought in some really great examples of artist books from her personal collection and led us all in making cloth zine fold books. Looking forward to more fun stuff coming this summer!“ - Annie Soler, AofL Community Programs Coordinator. We have some amazing events planned in the North Shore this summer!

Our May Flowers pop-up event at the Evanston Art Center @evanstonartcenter was a tremendous success! Arts of Life artists and community members came together to create stunning floral arrangements and paint them.

About Arts of Life’s North Shore Community Programs: Before the pandemic, we thought that we could only build community on-site in our studios, but the lockdown forced us to reassess those assumptions. We realized that there are many ways to meaningfully engage artists. Over the last two years, we have collaborated with current and prospective artists in the North Shore to develop new programs in their homes and communities. - Image Descriptions: ID 1 - A group of people around a table in a classroom, drawing and painting still life flower arrangements.
