Dr. Margaret Taylor Goss Burroughs was an amazing visual artist, curator, educator and community organizer who founded the DuSable Museum of African American History. We will dedicate this workshop to Margaret Burroughs' life and legacy, as well as creative responses to her work. Also -- celebrating Margaret Burroughs' work is one way to celebrate Black History Month! 

This workshop will include the following-- 

• We will look at and talk about several examples of Burroughs' artwork, and talk about her legacy in Chicago and beyond.
• Participants will write poetry and create collages inspired by Margaret Burroughs' artworks. 

Location: Mozart Park is on Armitage Avenue in Logan Square -- several blocks east of Pulaski Road, just south of Dickens and Shakespeare Streets.
