The annual Returning Artists Series, since 1994, features artistically renowned University City High School (UCHS) graduates who return to share their fields of creative work with University City’s current students. The program’s activities will take place in schools around the city. Middle and elementary schools, both public and private, as well as UCHS will be included in this year’s program. UCALC sees the program as a chance to enrich the University City schools’ art programs and to encourage students to consider careers in the arts.
Funding for the Returning Artists Program is provided by the City of University City and the Darwin Portman Fund.
A public reception will be held on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at the University City High School Library, 7401 Balson, beginning at 7:00 pm.
