“Art & Grind: Careers and the Urban Adventure Series”
June 22nd – August 17th 2011

Presented by: Pros Arts Studio and the Teen Arts Mentorship Program

Art & Grind is a series of presentations featuring Chicago-based Artists making it happen and who have knowledge they would like to share about their respective fields with area youth considering creative careers. Presenter panels will talk about their work, share successes and challenges with youth and offer words of advice to those hopping to make it happen them selves! If you’re looking for some first-hand knowledge, or just curious how they did it (and are doing it), then check out the dates and artists below and sign up for some great information!
