CELEBRATING DIVERSITY 2007 “Some shapes are small, some shapes are big. Shapes are different sizes. I want to tell you a circle is my favorite shape! Maybe yours is a square, but that’s okay, we can still be friends!” <strong>The</strong>se words, from a poem by secondgrader John Rachal, capture the spirit of “Celebrating Diversity 2007.” A community-wide project, Celebrating Diversity was sponsored by the Human Relations Commission of the City of Highland Park in conjunction with the Cultural Arts Commission, <strong>The</strong> Art Center, School Districts 112 and 113, the Highland Park Public Library and East on Central, and was made possible by a grant from Mil Grauer. Everyone involved in the project felt it was a labor of love. More than 7,500 flyers in English and Spanish (the translation was done by School District 112) found their way to members of the Highland Park and Highwood communities, resulting in over 120 submissions from both adults and children. Submitted work, considered at different school ages, was juried by a panel of professional artists and writers. All the entries were exhibited in a slide show at Highland Park High School’s FOCUS on the Arts, “Embrace the World,” April 16-19. Works will continue to be displayed at venues around the city, including <strong>The</strong> Arts Center, First Bank of Highland Park, as well as public venues and local gathering places. six00threefive magazine is proud to be one of the exhibit spaces for original works created by this community’s young people. We are featuring student art entries, which capture the artists’ inspirations on the subject of diversity.
