Spotlight on Chicago Arts Education Resource Fair

The Chicago Japanese American Historical society will be available to answer questions both days at this event.
We present the history of Japanese Americans through workshops for educators, classroom presentations at the elementary, high school and college level, the display of public exhibits, and community presentations throughout the Midwest .

Preview Chicago’s arts and cultural programs for the 2009/2010 academic year and beyond. This is an invaluable resource for planning innovative activities, fun field trips and group events. It is also a chance to learn how you can work with cultural organizations to establish the arts as part of your core curriculum.

In a single location, Spotlight on Chicago will showcase this city's rich array of arts and cultural organizations - new, familiar and reinvented - as they embrace the coming season with updated education initiatives. Presenters will range from major city museums and theaters to grassroots performance troupes and community cultural centers.
