Get the opportunity to co-create and showcase why voting is important through spray paint. Contribute your creativity by using art templates!
Your artwork can be distributed throughout campus and displayed throughout your neighborhood. If you are a U.S. citizen and resident of Illinois, you are in luck – you can register online until October 21, 2018.
