This summer I am helping facilitate a series of events called 8x3 Art + Architecture, and it is taking place at the former Anthony Overton Elementary building in Bronzeville.
By asking 'how might art, design and architecture support, accelerate or amplify re-purposing of closed public schools?', this project aims to produce art and design installations by collaborative teams of architects and artists that can respond both to the main prompt of Creative Grounds about the future of social infrastructure and/or are inspired by the architecture of this building or the legacy of Anthony Overton.
Friday from 1-2 PM at the former Overton Elementary Building (4939 S Indiana, 1st floor). As Bronzeville residents and gallery owners, your insight and support are valued.
We are also seeking to connect with more Bronzeville-based artists like who are interested in participating.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you!
Contact for more information.
