Following Artruck, I was looking forward to my own pop-up gallery experience. I passed the morning observing dragonflies by the lake, and then made my way downtown to pick up Jason and his work, after which we began setting up at Paola’s Vinum. I claimed a table while the group divvied up the display walls […]
It is such a pleasure getting to know the artistic community in Chicagoland. On Friday evening, I walked over to Artruck. Hosted by a resident of Ashland avenue, two trucks were embellished with strings of lights, and select local artists were invited to display their work. It was a block party that spanned two U-Haul […]

We made a mini ‘origami’ book that can house strips of fortune cookie fortunes. It makes an […]
Lincoln Park’s Artrageous event concluded Saturday with the Main Event Extravaganza. I had a lot of fun getting to know this corridor of Chicago. Knowing parking might be an issue with various events going on that day, I opted for the L and walked the long stretch to Clark Street. It was quite the scenic […]
This weekend a few Chicago Painters and Artists‘ members explored the Artrageous art walk. Our meeting point at Hanig’s Slipper Box had two mixed media dimensional pieces.

On Friday, Artrageous opened to the public. You can now vote online for your favorite pieces, which are all listed here. The Swift Swallowtails are number 42, which made me think of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. In this case, I fully agree that the answer, and vote, is 42! I attended the opening […]
