Family, friends, artists, and art admirers are invited to attend the third annual District 155 Spark Art Show on Friday, January 29 from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. at Lakeside Legacy Arts Park.

The Sage gallery will also be hosting live music provided by students from Cary-Grove High School.

Student work from Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Cary-Grove, and Prairie Ridge high schools will be on display January 18 - 29. Please take the time to view this show during the working hours of Lakeside, weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The closing reception will be held on the evening of Friday, January 29 from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. The public is welcome and encouraged to join the local art educators in celebrating the inspiring talent of local youth. In addition to the high school work, select eighth graders will be featured as part of the future D155 Artists showcase.

“We 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,” said Judd Shutt, Prairie Ridge and Crystal Lake Central art educator.

During the closing reception, photography students from Crystal Lake South will run 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.

“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,” said Siobhan Cottone, Executive Director of the Lakeside Legacy Foundation.
