Gallery 312 presents its seventh annual exhibition of youth art work. This year's exhibition features work by students and their teachers from The PEACH Club, the Gallery's sister organization.

 

The PEACH Club is an art related child development and mentorship program providing in-school and after-school programming to children in the city.

 

The PEACH tenets of Patience, Encouragement, the Arts, Consisitency and Hope are applied through art programming and one-on-one attention, where currently, there are over 150 PEACH Club children at 4 satellite sites in the Chicago Public Schools and at our 312 N. May Street Studio site.

 

Come celebrate the growing success of The PEACH Club!
