We’ll be registering voters and providing election information at Epiphany Center for the Arts’ FEST of US! art festival, a multifaceted music, art, and community event for civic engagement.
New voters and festivalgoers will have an opportunity to celebrate their democracy by snapping a selfie with HER FLAG - a colossal nationwide project created by Oklahoma-based artist Marilyn Artus in 2019-2021 to recognize the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. HER FLAG has been exhibited at the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C. and makes its first Midwest appearance at Epiphany Center for the Arts to amplify women’s voices during this pivotal election year.
Those interested in volunteering should contact Jane Ruby at president@lwvchicago.org.
And check out other special programs and events at Fest of Us! on August 10:
