Theatre & Arts Leadership Kouncil (TALK) is possibly Homewood's newest not-for-profit and what a "Buzz" they are creating about whom they are and what exciting things they have planned. TALK's mission is to provide a voice for diverse populations using the expressive, transformative and rejuvenating power of the arts.
After a full night of painting murals, the dedicated teens from TALK will display their murals on Thursday, December 29, at 6:00 AM at the Metra station in downtown Homewood. These murals represent the organization and its members. TALK will present their artwork, a New Year message and free coffee to commuters at the Metra station.
TALK cannot wait to demonstrate other arts-based projects that will utilize volunteer instructors from Homewood's active arts community, to create multi-media events featuring the work of the youth.
Come out and meet TALK and view their creative murals. For more information about TALK, please go to www.talksouthland.org or 708-365-TALK (8255) |
