Drink and Draw is our monthly night devoted to drawing practices. There’s no teacher and no pretensions. We provide a theme for the evening and plenty of beer. Attendees provide a sketchbook and drawing utensils. Please come, and bring your friends while you’re at it! For this month’s D&D, we’ll be drawing with a focus on Chiaroscuro- the use of light & shading. You should bring any of these materials: charcoal and/or pastels, a kneaded eraser & sketchbook and/or dark-colored pastel paper. There’ll be a Day of the Dead themed still-life!

Prints by Adam Paul, Alex Lee, Angee Lennard, Benjamin Funke, Brie Cella, Colin Palombi, Dominic Senibaldi, Elisa Sandoval, Heather Buechler, Jason Hawk, Jennifer Hines, Juan Garcia, Karin Patzke, Kim Heiney, Liz Born, Mike Reynolds, Mischa Kegan, Rachel De Urioste, & Sanya Glisic

Can’t think of the word “eat” without an “m?” Or are you a militant vegan? Fall somewhere in between? Ever feel like a piece of meat? Everyone has an opinion about meat: the good, the bad, the bloody, the cooked, and the overlooked.

Closing of NOTICED – CLOSED

“NOTICE – CLOSED, and A Unique Marquee, two of the few remaining old-time gallery installations in the Chicago area, will come to a timely close on Saturday, October 17th. Gallery owners and artists involved have decided to commemorate this event with a closing reception to be held on Friday October 16th.

The encroachment of a scheduled closing date of the two concurrent shows has finally led to the finale to a historical era, according to a news release from Spudnik Press.”

Newcity writes “His output, fittingly, is on paper. Lundquist is a printmaker, itself a technology on the brink of extinction and with a thick history, from mass commercial applications to avant-garde experimentation. Artistically, Lundquist sits right between these two poles, culling material from pamphlets and signs and turning them into subtle etchings that kiss the paper they’re printed on. Handwritten notes, tourist pamphlets, temporary signs and a map of Meigs Field pre-destruction are Lundquist’s fodder. The dust of memorabilia and the hand sweat of craft combine in his new print series.”
