Hi friends.
It has been great to do all these fun art projects with you and your kids.
As Laura has to much to do these days, she won't be able to go on with the afterschool workshops.
I will be happy to organize the next one by myself, provided I'll get some ponctual help during the actual workshops. I have lots of ideas left, and materials to make those happen, but I do not have the motivation do do it alone.
So if any of you feel like coming after school to help the kids with projects, even just for one time, let me know, and I will be happy to do art in the park again!
Thursday, November 8th : leave maze
From 4pm and until the night come, we did a leave maze in Bixler park.
Thursday, November 1st : spider web from old sheets
Even if it's cold outside, we'd like to go on and do art which is actually in the park.
Joins us this afternoon, 4-5pm, to weave a giant spiderweb in the trees of the Ray school playground.

Our effigies garden
The effigies turn out to be so great!
Come and have a look, they're in front of the Fenn House, 5638 S. Woodlawn Ave, along with giant spiderwebs (upcycled from old sheets).

Next Thursday should be cold and rainy.
We suggest you join us at the SHoP (5638 S. Woodlawn Ave), in a very nice project room for kids, from 4 to 5pm to make effigies we will plant outside for Halloween. We started last week, but you can come and start one this time!

Thursday, Octobre 18th : an effigies garden for Halloween ?
Let's meet next Thursday! We plan on doing an upcycled effigies garden for Halloween.
If the weather is as cold and rainy as forcasted, we could go at the SHoP, where there is a very nice kids projects room. We will be as usual at Bixler park around 4pm, but you can also join us straightly there (5638 S. Woodlawn Ave).

Solidarity camp
During the Chicago's teachers strike, loving parents, Hyde Park community members, and artists supporting children and teachers offered their time and creativity to provide a full day of engaging activities for children in Nichols park.
Thanks to all the support from the community, in the form of food donations, materials for art projects, indoor space, and most importantly, caring loving volunteers, more than thirty kids had a place to go during one week, all days long.
