OPENING RECEPTION: 7-11 PM March 19th, 2010///Preview 6-7 PM
JOHALLA PROJECTS//1561 N Milwaukee Ave///2nd Floor///Chicago, ILL.
How many Chicagoans know what their alderman looks like? How many Chicagoans can tell you who their alderman is, and what he or she has been doing lately? We’re not pollsters, so we don’t have any hard data to provide answers to these questions — but we are artists, and we’re interested in using art as a vehicle in depicting and learning more about the aldermen who represent us at City Hall. To this end, we invite other Chicago artists to join us in producing 50 ALDERMEN/50 ARTISTS: A group exhibition of portraits that will enable people to learn more about the 50 aldermen who make up the Chicago City Council, and raise awareness of local government. On Friday, March 19, 2010 from 7-11pm, Old Style proudly presents 50ALDERMEN/50 ARTISTS at the Johalla Projects Gallery, 1561 N. Milwaukee.
