Workshop is now part of the Illinois School District 219, and has been

featured in various publications.

intensive workshops and studio access. Artists and educators serve

as instructors, encouraging student commitment to the highest

standards. Classes are kept small to ensure that individual

attention can be given to everyone. The Workshop is committed toraising money for school systems and providing assistance to staff.

The Workshop also maintains an active exhibition program outside
