School Hallways As Art Galleries, Shared Walls™ at Newberry Elementary

As we look to grow our Shared Walls™ program, it's always awesome to connect with people that are engaged in providing more opportunities for their communities and students. When we got an email from Ms. Amy Jarrett-Clancy showing interest in bringing a temporary art exhibition to Newberry Elementary School at 700 W. Willow in Lincoln Park, we couldn't have been happier. Ms. Jarrett-Clancy saw what we did at Darwin Elementary School and was excited to participate. A few short weeks later we installed the exhibition featuring screen prints by Chicago-based artist, Justin Santora with the help of our newest intern, Maria Camila Vargas, who did a great job! We're happy to check off a new Chicago neighborhood as we look to put a Shared Walls™ exhibition in every Ward in Chicago - making art accessible to everyone. As always, if you know of deserving spaces that needs art, get in touch with us or join our newsletter! We believe that art should be a part of everyone's experience & are thrilled that everyone at Newberry Elementary loves it. Onward.
