Artists’ Atlas Early Holiday Party
Saturday, November 17, 12 - 2 pm

Join the nine artists of the Artists' Atlas show for the holiday party at this enormous show of art and gifts, inspired by maps, memory and identity. The local artists include Kass Copeland, Deanna Krueger, Alan Emerson Hicks, Jason Messinger, Matt Nichols, Emily Rapport, Jordan Scott, Marya Veeck and Joey Wozniak. Artists will be on hand to talk about their artwork, in this fun early-holiday Saturday shopping event.

The artists utilize materials as varied as paint, ink, canvas, paper, wood, ceramic, photographs, prints, text, found objects, plastic packaging, historical images, star charts, recycled medical diagnostic film, and cancelled postage stamps. By mapping places, charting memories, and tracing the elements of identity, the nine artists present a visual atlas of our interior worlds.

The State Street Gallery is prominently located at the corner of Van Buren and State Street, at 401 South State Street, Chicago. The show runs through Thursday December 20th, 2018. Normal gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, from 10am to 6pm. The gallery is free and open to the viewing public. All artwork is available for sale. Artist-designed gifts and prints also available in the ‘Art Mart’ gift shop. You can visit the Artists’ Atlas website at Crazy8Art.com, and contact the gallery directly at (312)935-4088.

Cornelia Arts Building Holiday Open Studios 
Friday, November 30, 2018, 6 - 10 pm
Wash Away the Everyday With Art

Pablo Picasso said “Art washes away from the soul the dust of the everyday.” The Cornelia Art Building invites the public to ‘wash away the everyday’ in a festive holiday reception.
Visit two stories of working art studios in one of the largest all artist studio buildings on Chicago's Northside. Meet many of the building’s talented artists and artisans in person, plus guest lobby artists: Ellen Holtzblatt and Joan Geary, explore their art practices up close, and enjoy the opportunity to purchase artwork and hand-made crafts directly from the people who made them.

For thirty-two years this artist incubator space has provided Chicago artists with professional studio spaces to pursue their craft. Over fifty local artists and artisans work here, including sculptors, painters, photographers, ceramic artists, print-makers, jewelry designers, textile artisans, and much more. With one-of-a-kind hand-made artwork and gifts the event offers something for the whole family to enjoy.

Established in 1986 in a former ice-house, the Cornelia Arts Building is located at 1800 West Cornelia, at the border of three distinct Chicago Neighborhoods; Lakeview, Roscoe Village, and North Center. Located close to public transportation and only two blocks south of the Addison Brown Line CTA stop, the building also has free parking available in parking lot out front, and on neighborhood streets nearby. Event is free and open to the public.
