Event Recap: Art Panel Discussion

Many thanks to the talented Chicago artists who joined us last week to share the inspiration and craftsmanship of their work. We took part in the events of Chicago Design Week by hosting a panel discussion called Intersecting Art & Place, featuring 5 local artists who focus on public art. In the setting of an artist’s loft in the west loop, the panelists inspired us, made us laugh, and made us think. We encourage you to check out their websites to learn more about their work (links in previous chapter post).
