On June 2, 2017, from 5:00-8:00 p.m. CDT, Lubeznik Center for the Arts will host the fourth annual LOK Young Artists’ Expo in partnership with the Lindsey O’Brien Kesling (LOK) Wishing Tree Foundation.
The evening is a showcase of talented youth in the region, which includes LCA’s youth programming. An exhibition of artwork – created by regional students including LCA’s Youth Arts Council and the Boys & Girls Club of Bloomington – will be on display in the NIPSCO Education Studios through July 14. At 6 p.m., enjoy dance performances by Marsh Elementary School students and violin performances by Pine Elementary students, both part of LCA after-school programming in partnership with Safe Harbor. South Shore Dance Alliance, another long-term LOK partner, will perform a soulful interpretive dance choreographed to reflect the mission of the LOK Wishing Tree Foundation followed by a stellar high energy finale.
Special guest, Chicago rapper Ridgio, will make an appearance; he takes experience from his troubled past and his faith to deliver a positive message through his music.
The Expo is made possible by the partnership between Lubeznik Center for the Arts and LOK Wishing Tree Foundation. LOK’s mission is to support young people in achieving their highest potential, unleashing their talents and acting upon their dreams through a wide variety of creative and performing arts opportunities.
