Today is the last day to visit us in our Pilsen location before we move to the West Loop; stop by and see us! 

Drawer, animator and pro skateboarder Lori D has her new reel up for 2010, it features rows of Dachsunds, raindrops playing the drums, and other humorous bits. Enjoy!

This Saturday, January 23 from 6-9 pm Roots & Culture Contemporary Art Center will be hosting an opening reception for the exhibition We Are the World curated by Liliana Lewicka.

In 1985 Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson co-wrote “We Are the World” and recorded the now-famous tune alongside nearly 50 of the biggest names in music to raise money and awareness for the famine crisis in Africa.

This exhibition is both a look at the significance of this tender moment in pop culture history and a preamble; bringing together some of the most notable young artists born during the 1980's by inviting them to re-imagine We Are the World as it could have been.
 
Featuring:
Ninna Berger, Caitlin Denny, John Henderson, Parker Ito, Zachary Kaplan, Anne Guro Larsmon, Matt Momchilov, Justin Olerud, Job Piston, Melissa Sachs, Bailey Salisbury, and Justin Swinburne.
