Hyde Park Art Center Virtual Sundays

Center Sundays are back – virtually! Join in on art making, workshops, and a performance all from the comfort of your home. Hyde Park Art Center is offering online programming Sunday, April 5 from 1 pm until 5 pm. More details at our Center Sunday web page.

Hyde Park Art Center Virtual Sundays Activities include:

Virtual Art Making activity via Vimeo: Create your own “Imagination Journal” for capturing words, poems, doodles, drawings or dreams. Using a range of papers – text weight, patterned paper, card-stock, cardboard – and an easy and unique binding method you can create a journal.

Black Lunch Table Virtual Wiki Editing Session via GSuite: No editing experience required, learn how to edit and write articles on Wikipedia. Our Wikipedia edit-a-thons mobilize the creation and improvement of a specific set of Wikipedia articles where our focus is on the lives and work of Black artists.

Virtual Poetry Performance: Kick off National Poetry Month with a performance of the published piece “Un espejo de feria” from our Visiting Resident Artist Joelle Mercedes.

Experimental Sound Studio Quarantine Concerts via Twitch: The Quarantine Concerts are a collaborative endeavor meant to provide artists a space to share their work and continue to earn a living. Suggested donation of $5/evening. 100% of the donations contributed during each performance go to the artists who played that night.

Out Of Site Short Screenings: Check out videos from the archive of Out of Site, A performance art series curating unexpected encounters in public spaces.

Virtual Tax Workshop for Artists via Zoom (RSVP required): Krystal Boney, Accountant and Founder of Bean Knights, will be hosting a presentation for artists seeking tax tips for their individual practices. Topics on expenses, legal entities, and proper bookkeeping will be discussed. RSVP to cmckissick@hydeparkart.org to receive the Zoom link via email.

We hope you can join in on all the (online) fun! We miss the Art Center, but hope that we can still find ways to be creative and find community. For questions about the April 5 Virtual Center Sunday, please email Ciera Mckissick, Public Programs Coordinator.
