Lubeznik Center for the Arts Teen Arts Council Open House

Event Information

Calling all teen artists! Lubeznik Center for the Arts (LCA) invites high school artists to attend an open house to learn more about its Teen Arts Council. This drop-in event will take place on Saturday, February 22 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM (central) at LCA.

Teen Arts Council (TAC) is a program that connects passionate teens from around the region with unique professional arts experiences to deepen their understanding of contemporary art practices, the roles that artists play in society and their own creative voices. In a typical year, TAC events include visits to artists’ studios and trips to Chicago art exhibitions. Members also have the opportunity to show and sell their work on multiple occasions, including the LOK Wishing Tree Young Artists’ Expo held in June and our annual Lubeznik Art Festival in August. All of these opportunities are free of charge to participants.

In addition, interested participants receive assistance in developing their college admission portfolios and have opportunities for portfolio reviews by top national art schools. Senior TAC members have been offered more than $453,000 in scholarship dollars this year from colleges and universities!

Open House attendees can participate in silkscreen printing and button making or contribute to a collaborative mural. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Current TAC members will be on hand to share their experiences with the program. There is no charge to attend this event.
