Volunteer Art Project: Hokusai in Lisle!

The Lisle Library District (LLD) in partnership with Lisle intergovernmental agencies and local businesses are partnering to create a Hokusai experience in Lisle! This summer, HOKUSAI & UKIYO-E: The Floating World will be on display at the College of DuPage. To coincide with this exhibition, Lisle will be hosting its own community art installation and interactive experience in Downtown Lisle.

To accomplish this project, the LLD seeks volunteers to assist in the creation of public art banners for Downtown Lisle. These banners will become a main feature and part of the Village’s Hokusai event.

GOAL:

To provide colorful outdoor banners to festoon Lisle’s downtown throughout the summer and at the Library’s Gallery 777 during June and July of 2025.

WHO:

Members of the public are welcome to participate in the volunteer community art project.

WHAT:

Banners are 12” x 24” with greyscale-printed Hokusai imagery on canvas ready for color/paint. The LLD will provide all supplies and light refreshments for participants.

GUIDELINES:

All volunteer art project participants are required to sign a waiver allowing the banner to be displayed. Please see all guidelines via the official waiver. Paper copies of the waiver will be at the program.

Thank you for participating in the volunteer Lisle Hokusai Community Art Project!
