CAPE in Gallery 400’s Exhibition “Learning Together: Art Education and Community”
We are pleased to be part of Gallery 400’s exhibition Learning Together: Art Education and Community, from September 5 through December 14. The exhibition centers the progressive art pedagogy of a diverse group of Chicago artist educators from the mid-1960s through the 2010s, highlighting the unique pedagogical practices of educators working across Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods.
CAPE will be represented by student artworks, program ephemera including planning forms, and Scott Sikkema’s essay Introducing the CAPE Artist/Researcher.
Learning Together is part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities; and is presented in partnership with UIC’s Jane Addams Hull-House Museum.
Leading up to the exhibition, CAPE teaching artist Niema Qureshi and Associate Director of Education, In-school Programs and Exhibitions Mark Diaz offered a workshop that engaged art educators in exploring artmaking as a practice that considers the existence of materials beyond our everyday use and understanding of them.
