McCord Gallery & Cultural Center:
  Presenting
Art! from Sandburg A.P. Studio Art Students

Jan. 12 through Feb. 9, 2015

Reception: 

Sunday, January 25th, 2014, from 1-3 p.m.

9602 W.Creek Road,Palos Park, Il

You are invited to visit the exhibit on display at the McCord Gallery & Cultural Center in Palos Park. Some of you know this as the "old white farmhouse, just north of Jewel."

 

The old white farmhouse is now a registered historic landmark and an art gallery/cultural center.

McCord also offers group classes and private lessons in visual art and music.

 

The work of our students in AP Studio Art is currently being displayed at McCord. Our opening reception is this Sunday, January 25th, from 1-3 pm. 

 

This is unique and real-world experience for our students, who have not only created their own art, but prepared it for public viewing. They will be there on Sunday to answer any question you may have about their work and to learn what it is like to promote their own art.

 

Please feel free to join us this Sunday! Refreshments provided (the students are baking, as well.).

 

Thank You!
