October was a whirlwind of activity in the studio! Studio mates, Karen Tichy, Kathleen Newman and I joined together to curate an exhibit on the second floor of the Fine Arts Building-aka The Second Floor Gallery, for Chicago Artists Month.
The exhibit highlights our varied approaches, materials and processes- Kathleen with pastels and oils, Karen's encaustics and my ongoing series of all things water. Personally speaking, this was one more fun, collaborative effort and another benefit of our shared studio.
Every October, Chicago celebrates the arts with Chicago Artists Month. Coordinators work with artists all over the city to provide a calendar full of activities and events. This year's theme, "Art Block by Block" showcased our FAB community as we had more than 25 studios and galleries open for the monthly Open Studios event. Throughout the month, visitors stopped by-most notably visitors from out of town. I so enjoyed the many conversations about art-mine and others-as some were artists in their own right. It seems there are few situations where this kind of exchange is possible and I am grateful to be in this beautiful, historic building, -where people can wander in from Michigan Avenue and explore!
Our exhibit has been extended until November 6th-please do stop by if you're in the area!
