DREAAM Big is an exhibit of work created by a group of kids ages 14-18 years old from the DREAAM organization (Driven to Reach Excellence in Academic Achievement for Males). Taught by artist Jason Mack, the kids were shown how to design, create and sell glass art. The workshop focused equally on handicraft and how to think like entrepreneurs to develop a product idea that appealed to their friend network. The program was made possible with funding provided by the Urbana Arts Grant.
Conveniently located at the corner of Race and Green in downtown Urbana.
