Graffiti Summer Class and More for Teens at Yollocalli Arts Reach
For teens interested in an atypical art class experience, Yollocalli Arts Reach is offering a Graffiti Mural class, "Breaking Through Walls," this summer from June 28 to August 6. Students will learn how to create murals using spray paint and graffiti techniques. The class is taught by Miguel Aguilar, who teaches graffiti history at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. "Breaking Through Walls" will be from 10am to 2pm, Monday through Friday, at Piotrowski Park, 4247 W 31st Street.
In addition to "Breaking Through Walls," Yollocalli is offering two other summer classes for teens: "Wall of Hope," a traditional Mural Class, and "Carnival," a class focused on experimental theater forms. For dates and more information about these classes, visit Yollocalli's website.
Yollocalli Arts Reach, a youth initiative of the National Museum of Mexican Art, is located at 1401 W 18th Street in Pilsen. To enroll in a summer course, first apply at the After School Matters website. Following an application, there will be portfolio reviews from May 31 to June 4. Students who complete the registration process will become paid interns, sponsored by After School Matters.
