NAPERVILLE, Ill. — Naperville's Sister Cities Commission (SCC) invites the community to a reception honoring participants in the 2019 Young Artist Showcase. The reception, which demonstrates the amazing artistic talent of local middle and high school students, will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. on Friday, March 15, at the Naperville Art League, 508 N. Center St. Naperville Councilwoman Patty Gustin will attend.
This year's theme, "Global Citizens: Resilient Communities," encouraged young artists between the ages of 13 and 18 to explore how individuals or communities anticipate, adapt and respond to adversity or challenges. Artists explored questions such as "How can internationally engaged future leaders help communities respond to the various global challenges of the 21st century?" and "How does international experience affect an individual or community's ability to adapt?"
