About Me

We are a community garden in Pilsen's vibrant neighborhood at 1835-1837 S. Carpenter; est 1998. Our garden is made up of native Illinois plants and has local pre-hispanic themed Mexican art work. Our garden name is based on the Monarch Butterfly as it travels in it's yearly migration between Mexico, the U.S. and Canada just like many of our Pilsen residents. Our beautiful art work has been wonderfully done by ProsArts in collaboration with the children's programs at Dvorak Park. We are a NeighborSpace/ OpenLands community garden, and we owe much thanks to them and many others; such as ProsArts, the many neighbors who stop by to help, Chicago Cares, and many others.

RECAP: Infinite Ripples of Peace March (taken from ElevArte mail)On Thursday, March 21, 2013 ElevArte Community Studio and Changing Worlds kicked off the springtime with a youth peace march in the Pilsen neighborhood. Our participation in the Ten Thousand Ripples (TTR) project comes at a crucial moment when violence in Chicago neighborhoods is on a rise. This is our way of contributing to peace efforts in our neighborhood by bringing community together through the arts. Learn more about this project at www.elevartestudio.org
