Cedarhurst Center for the Arts

Excited to be working with Cedarhurst Center for the Arts on their Family Center Renovation!

Cedarhurst needs your help to revitalize its interactive family education center! Watch the video for details, then go online to support this amazing project:
http://www.cedarhurst.org/family-center-makeover

Cedarhurst's Director of Education, Jennifer Sarver, and Museum staff have been working with Chicago’s RedBox Workshop design company to update the space. The result is a $125,000 makeover that will revitalize this creative haven for the next generation.

Cedarhurst opened the interactive Beck Family Education Center in 2008, boasting a variety of hands-on activity stations that promote creative growth and development for all ages. It has become one of the most used and well-loved spaces at Cedarhurst. Free and open to the public, more than 25% of general attendance visitors come to utilize this area.

As expected, heavy traffic has taken a toll on the space, and the proposed redesign will refurbish and redevelop the area based on community feedback. Family center favorites like the lego mosaic and weaving wall will be enhanced, while new activities like a curating station and collaborative sculpture provide new fun and creative challenges. The redesign focuses on open-ended activities that will bring back visitors by giving them fresh experiences on every visit. The popular tree will stay, the center of a new Storytime Glen reading area with more room for books and rolling hill benches that invite family reading.

Help fund this exciting redesign that will serve southern Illinois families for years to come! Contact Hillary Esser or visit http://www.cedarhurst.org/family-center-makeover for full details.
