The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools

Celebration of the Arts

April 20–June 1, 2022
Events Only

Now in its eleventh year, LabArts has become one of the Schools’ most significant community events. Led by a group of parents, in partnership with the fine and performing arts faculty, LabArts has grown into what is now several weeks of events and activities centered around gallery-style installations of more than 1,500 pieces of student artwork.

This year, teachers will be displaying their students' art in two exhibits at Gordon Parks Arts Hall. Please see details below for when your child's art will be displayed and plan your visit accordingly. 

Planning your visit to LabArts

• On weekdays, visitors to LabArts must reserve a time slot to see the exhibits.  Please select your visit time here. You should sign up for one slot per family, regardless of the number of family members attending.  
• All visitors to LabArts will enter through the Judd Hall on Kimbark Avenue, and should have a Lab- or UChicago-issued ID or a state-issued identification card to enter the building.

Special days: no reservations needed

• On Saturday, May 7, families are welcome to visit LabArts from noon–6 p.m. without a reservation.
• On Saturday, May 14, families are welcome to visit LabArts from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. without a reservation.

All events convening at Lab are open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.
