Fun was had by all during our "Art Project" event for Art on Harrison!

On Friday September 10th, Right-Brained Studio was open for the “Art Project” youth art show and art making event.  Art was on display by our featured youth artists Angela and Grace as well as plenty of art supplies on hand for all to create with. Participants of all ages, were guided by Youth Art Mentors Mindy Fisher (Sew Fun and Comics) and Carlos Arteaga (Word and Draw It, Paint It, Wear It) to make art to keep or share on our studio wall as part of our newest art installation.

Thanks for all who participated!

Three artists from our studio participated in “Beyond the Coyote” during this weekend long arts festival located at the Historic Flat Iron Building in Wicker Park .  Jillian, Claire and Teagan each created a series of art along with an artists statement as well as took responsibility for hanging their own work.  They had a chance to talk with other artists as well as speak with viewers about their artistic processes….a few sales were made too…well done!
