Feb 17-18 2010
Larkin High School teams up with Rogest & OurWorldUnderwater to promote marine education through art.
Elgin,Chicago, IL, January 15, 2010 , Think globally and act locally. This is the philosophy of internationally renowned marine artist, Ron Steven, better known as Rogest in the art and diving world. There is no better place to put those words into action, than in the Midwest at the culturally diverse Larkin High School (LHS), where glimpses of the outside world and opportunities for exposure outside the community are extremely limited. Elgin is a microcosm where hopes of the American dream are as many as the detours and obstacles that youth encounter reaching them. Rogest and the kids will paint for 2 days .

These paintings along with student’s descriptions will be on display at OurWorldUnderwater (Scuba Expo-Stephens Convention Center, February 19^th-21^st along with Rogest original paintings. Attendees of the Scuba Expo will have the opportunity to show their support for our future divers by bidding on these unique paintings which will fund the 2010 S.T.A.R.S. International program being run at LHS for an estimated 50 students. The aim of this collaboration between Rogest, LHS, and the Scuba Expo is to promote local action, awareness, and future conservation of the world’s aquatic resources.

Our mission is to encourage the community to partner in educating and involving our future generations in the ocean conservation movement.
