to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, March 11, when they will be open to the public at George B. Armstrong International Elementary School, 2110 Greenleaf Ave., in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood.

Mahony Griffin created the paintings inside the school where her sister was an art teacher in 1931 during an extended visit to her nearby Evanston family home.

Incorporating themes of imagination, creativity and love of nature, Marion delighted students by standing upon a table to paint while discussing her work, fairies and other magical beings.

The open house is presented by members of the Walter Burley Griffin Society and no reservations are required.

Admission is free, and donations to the Armstrong School’s mural preservation fund are welcome.
