The Rockford Area Arts Council is hosting the Youth Art exhibit daily from 11am – 3pm at the Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens lobby, located on 1354 North 2nd Street in Rockford.
SPARK! 2020 Youth and Teen Arts Apprentices worked outside in the beautiful gardens of the Nicholas Conservatory. The summer art theme was Social Justice Artwork and Digital Journalism skill-building. Youth interviewed and filmed community members, created stop-motion animation videos, and painted a mural banner series. This unique art exhibit will run through the end of October.
This program was made possible by contributions from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, the Illinois Arts Council, the Alpine Kiwanis Charities Fund, contributions from the city of Rockford and donations from Arts Council members.
All health and safety procedures will be followed inside exhibit area.
