Announcing … Artrageous

Have you ever wanted to judge an art exhibit?

You will have your chance next week. Lincoln Park will be hosting Artrageous along Clark Street and Diversey from April 20 to May 5, at which you can vote for your favorite pieces of art.

Artrageous is a new multidimensional event featuring pop-up art exhibits, cooking demonstrations, live music, entertainment and special attractions; and it is free!

• The Main Event takes place Saturday, May 5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. featuring a full day of live art, entertainment, seminars, cooking demonstrations, community art projects and food sampling (click for schedule).
• The event closes with an Artrageous Awards Ceremony from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at which the voting results will be announced.

And guess what? You can vote for my Swift Swallowtails! This was my first juried submission, and I’ve been holding my breath to see how that would work out. So I was thrilled when my name was on the list of selected artists. V A L I D A T I O N !

You can vote for your favorite art via text message or VisitClarkStreet.com from noon April 20 until 4 p.m May 5. Voting instructions will be available at VisitClarkStreet.com and also at participating businesses.

It is recommended that you take public transportation. Finding street parking might make you wish for your own set of wings.

I hope to see you there!
