Meet Calvin B. Jones: Make a Mini-Mural
Artist Calvin B. Jones, whose murals appeared across Chicago's South and West sides during the Black Arts Movement, gets a family-focused spotlight at Jefferson Park. On Saturday, November 7, from 11 AM to noon, participants explore the question "Whose murals get saved?" through a guided mini-mural activity inspired by Jones's bold, AfriCOBRA-influenced "Cool-Ade colors" and African print designs. The program is part of the Chicago Public Library's Renaissance Project, drawing on archival materials from the Vivian G. Harsh Research Collection. Suitable for all ages, with accessibility accommodations available by request at least 14 business days in advance. Registration is active.
