D.R.E.A.A.M. Big: A Glass Art Exhibition
Featuring the work of:
Terrance McCray
John Smith
Tajhae Dorsey-Wardlow
Kanye Hite
Makel Bell
& Lamarion Pettigrew
DREAAM Big is an exhibit of work created by a group of kids ages 14-18 years old from the DREAAM organization (Driven to Reach Excellence in Academic Achievement for Males). Taught by artist Jason Mack, the young artists were shown how to design, create and sell glass art. The workshop focused equally on handicraft and how to think like entrepreneurs to develop a product idea that appealed to their friend network. The program was made possible with funding provided by the Urbana Arts Grant.
Artwork will be on display throughout the month of April at The Urbana Free Library on the main floor (display case).

A Solo Exhibition of Works by Carol Alison
The Urbana Free Library and the City of Urbana Arts and Culture Program invite the public to a Boneyard Arts Festival meet and greet with exhibiting artist, Carol Alison whose collection "ramble.on." is on display at the library April-May, 2022.
Artist's Statement:
"This series started as a singular inspiration from graphics found on AMF-era Harley Davidson gas tanks. Motorcycles are a work of art in their own right, and those early graphics have a special place in HD history.
Once I started incorporating those graphics into my own abstract work, I discovered that together it all looked much like a map. I am an intuitive painter and an avid camper, hiker, and all-around nature geek so I started creating my own maps.
Inscribing Memory is a collection of paintings and monoprints by Tamar Segev opening Boneyard Arts Festival weekend and on display throughout the month of April.
------
Tamar Segev is a visual artist living in Urbana, IL. She received her BA in Studio Art from Carleton College and her MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her work explores connections between familial memory, historical narratives, and contemporary culture, as they are embedded in specific sites and surfaces of architecture. She paints, draws, and stitches as an embodied act of remembrance, an effort to penetrate, inscribe, and process memory.
The 22nd Community Celebration of Read Across America! Walk-up experiences will be taking place right outside of Lincoln Square Mall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 26th. All kids will receive a free book, and the first 300 children who attend will receive a free bag as well. Storytelling tents and interactive activities will also be offered.
The City of Urbana Arts and Culture Program, together with Urban Word NYC, are proud to announce Urbana’s inaugural Youth Poet Laureate, Urbana High School student, Danyla Nash.
