SILENT VOICES SPEAK: 05/22/13

MISSION STATEMENT

SILENT VOICES SPEAK started out as Silent Voices: A Writer’s Workshop, as the first group at the drop-in center at the Broadway location of Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, whose purpose is to empower it’s attendees to form and attend their own groups.

We have branched out as an independent entity. We are silent no more. We say yes to the creative possibilities of life & art...

The mission of SILENT VOICES SPEAK is to give a voice to people who are disenfranchised. Many of the participants in SILENT VOICES SPEAK are also visual and/or performing artists.

Membership is open to all.

SILENT VOICES & THE ART COLLECTIVE

Hey Everyone!

I hope all of you are well.

I just want to let you know that Silent Voices will be meeting on Saturdays from now on

from 11am-12pm starting May 25th.

I know things have been inconsistent lately, but this change should put things back on track.

Please pass it on.

Also, The Art Collective will be meeting again under the umbrella of The Drop-In Center

from 12-2pm; starting on May 25th.

I will be facilitating and the mission will be to explore and self teach ourselves different art mediums with the stress being on embracing imperfection and giving our creative voices a chance to be free.

Individual pieces will be worked on in tandem with group pieces.

NOTE:

Although I will be facilitating, this is a collective so the group will have just as much say in what we do and in what is contributed.

I hope you all can come!

Pass this information on at your discretion.

All of this will take place at:

C4 Broadway

5710 North Broadway

3rd Floor

Silent Voices

Saturdays from 11-12pm

The Art Collective

Saturdays from 12-2pm

Thanks,

Elizabeth Hipwell
