ART FAIR!!!!

Marwen's second annual Art Fair will be held on Friday, October 26, 2007.

Marwen alumni, students in grades 11 & 12, staff, and teaching artists once again have the opportunity to sell work and participate in a really fun event.

For questions about Art Fair call Allie (ext. 213) or Allison (ext. 256) at 312.944.2418.

Particpation forms can be downloaded from marwen.org. Forms are due no later than August 18th, the last day of summer term. All work needs to be submitted to Marwen in early October. Artists may submit a range of mediums. Last year, Art Fair featured silk-screened t-shirts, photographs, paintings, sculpture, jewelry, and drawings. The Marwen staff is happy to help participating artists select work to sell and to assess an asking price--just give us a call.

CONGRATULATIONS SENIORS! Many of our seniors are graduating over the next couple weeks-- a huge shout out to them and their families. We're so proud of you and all you've accomplished at Marwen and beyond, congrats!

This was spotted amongst the signatures within Jordan Seaberry's piece Cultivating Marwen: 20 Years of Growth. Jordan's mixed media piece celebrates Marwen's 20th anniversary and invites the public to sign a tree rendered on the gallery wall. Steven Berkowitz founded Marwen in 1987.

Paintbrush Ball is Marwen's largest fundraiser. Each year, the parking lot is transformed into a magnificent tent for one spectacular evening.
