Explore Chicano Art! Dive into the bold, expressive world of Chicano art and learn what makes this style so powerful. Then try your hand at drawing in the tradition. Teens in grades 6-12 welcome!
Teen: Chicano Art is a free, one-hour creative workshop at the Northeast Regional Library designed specifically for students in grades 6 through 12. Participants will learn about the history and cultural significance of the Chicano art movement before creating their own drawings inspired by the style. This program is entirely free to attend, and the library provides all the necessary art supplies, so your teen does not need to bring anything. The Northeast Regional Library has a large, free parking lot directly in front of the building, making drop-off and pick-up straightforward. Because this event is tailored for middle and high school students, it offers a mature, focused environment where older kids can connect with peers who share their interests. It is a smart addition to your calendar because it gives older kids a dedicated space to try something new without any pressure. The weekday evening timeslot fits easily between school dismissal and dinner, offering a productive, screen-free break in their routine.
