Spurlock Museum - Event

Free workshop (all ages, esp. 15+): Reflect on how you’ve overcome tough beginnings and create a congratulatory message to your younger self. Turn childhood photos or provided “ancestor” polaroids into meaningful art. No experience needed; all materials supplied. Bring a small childhood photo if you wish.

In Sept 1985, nearly 80,000 fans filled UIUC’s Memorial Stadium for the first Farm Aid, where 50+ artists raised awareness of the farm crisis. Join our curator for a guided tour of the exhibit marking Farm Aid’s 40th anniversary. Free admission; no registration required.
