A Welcome Back Address from our Principal Pamela Glynn.

Welcome all new and returning students!  CPS Advanced Arts Program at Gallery 37 is a magical place where students from high schools across the city come together to create in a beautiful space. We think you will soon agree.  Our accomplished teachers and teaching artists are committed to nurturing your ideas and curiosity while supporting you to express it through the creative process of art making.  It is our hope that you take full advantage of this opportunity.  I can say with confidence, that If you focus and are committed to personal growth, you will be amazed by what you can accomplish by devoting ten hours per week to your craft.  If you want to pursue performance, culinary, visual or digital art in college, our program will prepare you well for post-secondary success. Our students have been accepted to many of the top art schools across the country, and most attribute their success to AAP. We understand that coming downtown every day is a big commitment. To be successful you must “show up” and by this, I mean not just physically show up, but show up in mind, heart and soul – be present!  Here’s to an amazing year!  We are here for you!
