Rogers Park Artists Think “BIG"lass
Rogers Park resident and stained glass artist Emily Carlson has always dreamed big. Some people might think of stained glass as the stuff that makes churches pretty; Carlson sees it as not only a beautiful window-filler, but a medium that reaches up and out and maybe, just maybe, something you can walk on.

Calling All Artists! Applications to Design an Underpass Mural Now Being Accepted
All Chicago-based artists are invited to submit a design for one of twelve murals that will grace the CTA and Metra underpasses in the 49th Ward.
The "Mass Underpass Murals Project" was one of the funding proposals that received voter approval in the Participatory Budgeting Election last April in which I gave the 49th Ward residents the power to determine how I would spend the 49th Ward's capital budget allocation.

Goldilocks was on to something…
Okay, maybe serving time/ temperature is not the sexiest topic, but hang in here with me, dear neighbors, because boy can it make a difference in your wine tasting experience. I was in the mood for a wine comparison the other night so David and I opened a Rioja and a Chianti Classico. Perhaps because we were getting a bit hungry for dinner, we began our note taking shortly after I opened the bottles. Now I know that ideally, wine should be given the chance to breathe, but like other habits you know are good for you, ( flossing, anyone?) I don’t do it every time. Read the rest here...

Art opening at Studio 7013
This exhibition features the work of local Chicago artists, as well as national and international artists! We are very excited to show off their new work. We'll have a lot of great photography and some masterfully realistic, but emotional, large paintings. "Amnetic State" shows how artists deal with memory within the process of making work. How the past is represented and reconfigured, to reveal hidden truths, and obvious lies. Sept. 11th still remains a day of infamy and this show looks to embrace the situations and perspectives arrived in this context.
