We're super excited for the 2024 summer season of Creativity Bus stops and Imagination Stations at locations throughout Chicago. Find one near you and take part in a free creative reuse-making activity, along with some movement and music on the Bus!
The Creativity Bus is our collaboration with E'a Williams and her T.H.U.G.hippie* retrofitted school bus. (*The Healing U Give) E'a provides movement -- yoga, drumming and doubledutch -- while CCRx provides making. Together we get everyone activated and inspired. Look for the Creativity Bus at Teamwork Englewood's TIME2136 on June 7 and 21, the Lawndale Pop-Up Spot on June 23, Burst into Books Words of Wonder Festival on July 27, and several other parks and community events. The complete schedule is here.
CCRx Imagination Stations will be at a lot of summer camps, and at several Chicago Park District Night Out in the Parks events -- Cielito Lindo Family Music Series at Washtenaw Park on June 8 and at Gage Park on June 20, Sundays on State on June 16 and July 14 , Chango SnakeDog and Friends at Galewood Park (7/26) and the Puppet Wonder Wagon at Wilson Park (8/2). Plus many other stops -- see them all here.
Would you like a visit from the Creativity Bus or Imagination Station? There are some grant-funded and paid slots still open -- check it out here.
We hope you will stop by and say hi! Make a Recyclo-Pouch, Imagination Journal, Peace Bracelet, or one of many other creative reuse projects that our team will provide.
These free workshops are courtesy of a Together We Heal Creative Place grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events and the Mayor's Office of Equity and Justice; a grant from The Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities, and the Chicago Park District.
