There are some fantastic art events happening right now in Chicago. What a city- I feel so lucky to live here.
I just got a chance to see the new Alexander Calder exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art. An entire gallery has been filled with Calder's amazing creations and visitors can walk around and under them. The gallery across the hall showcases pieces by contemporary artists inspired by the master.
This morning on NPR, I heard about the Andy Warhol Silver Clouds installation at Crown Hall, the quintessential Mies masterpiece at Illinois Institute of Technology. A work of art in a work of art! The IIT campus is a wonderful place to wander around-full of great architecture. I'm headed there this weekend. The show is running through August 1st, so I hope you get a chance to see it.
Finally, the 19th annual North Michigan Avenue Art Festival is being held at Pioneer Court right across Michigan Ave. from the Wrigley Building. It runs Friday through Sunday and is right in the heart of the city.
Get out there and enjoy!
