Join special guest Artist-in-Residence Curtis Chung during Teen Open Lab to explore the idea of place using ink and marker from 3:00 to 4:30 pm.
"Where we’ve lived and the settings we grew up in play an undoubtedly key role in shaping our identities and persons." -Curtis Chung
Curtis is serving as the first Artist-in-Residence at The Urbana Free Library from October - December 2024 and is passionate about sharing the transformative power of art. An award-winning artist for drawing and creating hyper realistic portraits using graphite and other mediums, he is a recent graduate of the University of Illinois with a B.A. in General Studio Art and a minor in Art History. Currently, he is pursuing an M.A. in Art Education.
For this week of creating/designing, you will have the option on Wednesday of exploring a sense of place with Curtis using ink and marker from 3 to 4:30 pm.
