CCIL’s beautiful bricolage dedication scheduled for August 14, 2008 CCIL and the Chicago Public Art Group (CPAG) welcome the public to attend a dedication highlighting the creative genius and hard work that went into completing a visually stunning mural in the North Lawndale community. The presentation will include statements from CCIL and CPAG Executive Directors Judy McIntyre and Jon Pounds, CPAG artists and CCIL residents. Guests are welcome to tour CCIL’s state-of-the-art facility, light refreshments will be served. The bricolage project was a collaboration of CCIL, CPAG, North Lawndale citizens and CCIL residents. Funding was made possible by the Guthman Fund.
“The mural is so colorful and full of life. It’s almost impossible for me to try and describe it with words, it’s a creation people need to see and experience for themselves. Random onlookers have stopped me on the sidewalk expressing their excitement about the mural’s vibrancy. We’re most grateful to the Guthman Fund, CPAG, Damon Reed, Max Sansing and the many volunteers who contributed in helping to beautify and make a positive impact on the North Lawndale community,” comments Judy McIntyre, CCIL Executive Director.
