I Declare Art Making Event

We invite you to join us at Art Saint Louis on Saturday, October 1, 2022 for our I Declare youth art making event. This is free & open to the public.

Teaching artists Jasmine Raskas and Rosemary Ziegler will be leading two family-friendly art projects designed for young people. Projects will focus on freedom of expression/free speech while using visual art as the means to convey the message.

For ‘I Declare,” artist Jasmine Raskas’ project will offer young people the opportunity to design their own expressive yard sign using stencils and acrylic paint markers. Participants will be encouraged to express themselves with positive phrases & words on their signs such as ‘believe in yourself’, ‘good vibes’, ‘be kind’, and ‘spread love’.

Rosemary Ziegler’s project will encourage youth participants to use chalkboards to express themselves, focusing on concepts of “I am”, “I Believe,” and “I will” or “I feel” as a starting point for using words & art to declare state of mind. The activities will be led from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. (or until supplies run out) by our two wonderful Teaching Artists along with Art Saint Louis volunteers.

Our 'I Declare' project is presented with generous financial support from Regional Arts Commission and Downtown Engagement & Public Safety Initiative (DEPSI). Thank you to our Teaching Artists and volunteers for their work on this project.

'I Declare' is presented in conjunction with our Fall 2022 exhibit, Declaration beginning September 24. Join us for a free public reception in the Gallery Saturday, October 1 from 5-7 p.m.
