Join USO Illinois for our 3rd installment of 2022 USO Discovery Kids: Art Mania in partnership with BMO Harris Bank as we take a tour and create a watercolor-painted masterpiece at the Trickster Cultural Center! Throughout the year, USO Illinois will host quarterly in-person or virtual Art Mania sessions to demonstrate a variety of art concepts and to showcase the endless possibilities of creative art.

Trickster Cultural Center increases the visibility and impact of contemporary cultural arts and education nationally through all art media, music, veterans, fatherhood, and social justice issues to advance these programs. The center features contemporary Native American art (post-1960’s) and augments its multicultural exhibits with featured speakers, panel discussions, school tours, and educator workshops. Come to Trickster to learn about Native American culture, Native peoples and their contributions to the U.S. military, view veteran’s artwork, experience multicultural exhibits, and browse unique items in the gift shop.
