Artmaking Workshops

10 am - NOON & 1-3 pm

Marwen will host half-day, two-hour workshops where you can learn a variety of skills, collaborate with Marwen artists, and learn directly from a celebrated Chicago emerging teaching artist. These workshops offer the chance to immerse yourself in a specific artistic practice for the day! Registration for these workshops is required.

Movie Screenings

10 am - NOON & 1-3 pm

Are you looking for a fun activity to do over spring break? Why not join us for a movie! Marwen will host full-day movie screenings of your favorite flicks. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some popcorn. Registration is required.

Marwen’s no-cost programs exist for young artists in Chicago who want to explore visual arts, are in 6th-12th grades during the 2022/23 school year, and do not have access to arts programming due to financial and systemic barriers.
