Join me for an exciting day that begins with a visit to an artist's studio and continues on to explore painting and sculpture at two Chicago galleries.

Come see the studio of Alex Chitty, whose sculpture liberates ordinary objects from their mundane life and amplifies muted elements of our surroundings. Chitty’s work has been exhibited nationwide, including at the DePaul Art Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR and solo shows at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Elmhurst Art Museum and the Hyde Park Art Center. At Corbett vs. Dempsey, we will see prominent artist Rebecca Morris’ vibrant paintings that celebrate abstraction while juxtaposing shapes, forms and loose patterns of marks. At Zolla Lieberman Gallery we will see paintings by Susanne Doremus, whose lyrical abstractions and furious patterns emphasize formal rhythms. Enjoy lunch at the delicious Bernie’s restaurant.

Broaden your knowledge of art and explore Chicago’s art community in a small group atmosphere, with personalized attention.

Date: Wednesday, April 13, 2022, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
