The evening’s free, family-friendly program will begin at 6 PM. This year’s agenda includes performances by South Shore Dance Alliance, a longtime partner of the LOK Wishing Tree Foundation, and speeches from LOK alumni and scholarship recipients. Attendees can browse the exhibition of student artwork, and light refreshments and a cash bar will be available throughout the event. Second City of Chicago graduate and actor, Timmy Barron will return for another year of emceeing and entertaining the crowd with his comedy.
This exhibition is a showcase of talented youth ages 7 through 17 in all media. The LOK YAE represents artists from LCA’s partnerships with numerous community and regional school partners. The artwork, chosen through individual portfolio review, is an impressive display of the extraordinarily talented youth from across the region. The LOK YAE will be on view in LCA’s NIPSCO Art Education Studios from May 27 through July 8.

Whether or not they continue in a career in the arts, the growth experience through their participation is vital to their self-esteem, self-confidence, individualism, team building, self-expression and much more.
