Judd Shutt, an art educator at both Prairie Ridge and Crystal Lake Central high schools, speaks for all of the local art educators when saying that they are “…enthusiastic about sharing the impressive creative endeavors of our students with supportive members of our community. We are immensely proud of our student’s achievements and grateful for the opportunity to work with the Lakeside Legacy Arts Park to reward them through this experience.”
Siobhan Cottone, Lakeside’s Executive Director feels as though “the walls have come alive with the talents of emerging artists. At Lakeside we strive to inspire and encourage creativity in people of all ages, and this inaugural District 155 show is a celebration of student artists, as well as a celebration of the incredible local teachers!”
Bring family, friends, artists, and art admirers to this inspiring show featuring artists from YOUR community showcasing their talents that inspire all to look more brightly toward the future. During the closing reception, the photography students from Crystal Lake South will be running a fun, interactive photo area that will show off their skills as well as create a fun keepsake for you! Parents can take photos with their kids, and students can take photos with friends, and all of the photos taken will be available to download off of Crystal Lake South’s Smug Mug page. Show your support for emerging artists by coming to the closing reception or visiting the Lakeside Legacy Arts Park while the show is hanging.
