Exhibit Hall, 4^th Floor North

Featuring work from a wide range of practices including cartooning, sign painting, architectural signage, illustration, graphic design, exhibit design and product design, this exhibition is the first to demonstrate how African American designers remade the image of the black consumer and the work of the black artist in this major hub of American advertising/consumer culture.

Keep Moving: Designing Chicago's Bicycle Culture

Through March 3, 2019

Expo 72, 72 E. Randolph St. (across the street from the Chicago Cultural Center)

Just before the turn of the century, the popularity of the bicycle in America was at an apex and the majority of American-made bicycles were being produced by Chicago-based manufacturers. Through designed items such as advertisements, brands, objects and spaces, this exhibition looks at how design has shaped how Americans think about bicycles – something familiar to us all.

Thursday, December 6, 6–7 p.m.: Gallery Talk “Beauty and the Bike: The Impact of Recreational Changes on Park Designs”

Saturday, December 15, 1:30–2:30 p.m.: Gallery Talk “From Bloomers to Pedal Pushers to Rompers: Riding Bikes in Style”

Roxie!

Opening January 12 – ongoing

Randolph Square, 1^st Floor North

The theater stage can be a powerful reminder of human frailties, foibles and folly. For over ninety years, the 1926 play “Chicago” has provided these reminders in periodic reinventions as three major motion pictures and a musical that is a long-running mainstay of the New York Broadway stage. In conjunction with Chicago’s Year of Chicago Theater, Roxie! explores the story’s origins as a cynical portrayal of Jazz Age Chicago written by former Chicago Tribune reporter Maurine Watkins. While fictional leads Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly have risen to almost folkloric icons of that era in this city, the story, through all its adaptations, provides a poignant warning of the dangers resulting from inequity, injustice, sexism and media abuses.

Cecil McDonald, Jr.: In the Company of Black

January 19–April 14, 2019

Chicago Rooms, 2^nd Floor North

Over the course of seven years, artist and educator Cecil McDonald, Jr. photographed people he describes as “extraordinarily ordinary.” As the artist explains, “When it comes to Black people, America is fascinated with extreme poles: either showing victims of violence, pain, and poverty (Black misery) or famous athletes and entertainers, and icons of popular culture (Black exceptionalism). This false dichotomy denies Black people the individuality and full spectrum of humanity that is so readily offered to the white population in this country." The photographs of In the Company of Black live in the space between, including tender moments with McDonald's daughters, informal portraits of his friends and collaborators and references to music, art, history and popular culture.

Thursday, February 7, 12:15–1 p.m.: Gallery Talk with Curator Greg Lunceford

Sunday, April 14, 2–5 p.m.: Closing with House Music DJ

Furtive

February 2–April 7, 2019

Michigan Avenue Galleries, 1^st Floor East

Curated by Filter Photo, Furtive is a photography-based exhibition that explores the complexity of memory, both personal and collective. Through an examination of place, archive and the intersection of perception and knowing, artists Daniel Hojnacki, Karolis Usonis, and Krista Wortendyke ask us to reconsider what we think we know based on our past experiences, communal knowledge and memory. By using photography as a conceptual tool rather than an objective medium for documentation these artists are able to examine and question our collective use of photography in the making of both memories and histories. For more information, visit filterphoto.org.

Saturday, February 2, 1–3 p.m.: Opening

Furtive is a DCASE ArtsSpace collaboration, providing exhibition space and support to Chicago arts organizations through an application process.

In Good Company

February 2–April 7, 2019

Michigan Avenue Galleries, 1^st Floor East

In Good Company is a group exhibition presented by Arts of Life. This exhibition seeks to highlight the mutually beneficial relationships and connections that develop within the Arts of Life studios. In Good Company features seven Arts of Life studio artists and four community volunteers, and includes work that has been developed both independently and collaboratively. The ongoing collaborations between studio artists and community volunteers are fundamental to the success of both individual practices and the overall health of the organization. This exhibition showcases the way in which these partnerships develop and thrive around a person-centric model. Arts of Life advances the creative arts community by providing artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities a collective space to expand their practice and strengthen their leadership. For more information, visit artsoflife.org/events/in-good-company/.

Saturday, February 2, 1–3 p.m.: Opening

Thursday February 21, 5:30–6:30 p.m.: Gallery Talk

In Good Company is a DCASE ArtsSpace collaboration, providing exhibition space and support to Chicago arts organizations through an application process.

Forgotten Forms

February 2–April 7, 2019

Michigan Avenue Galleries, 1^st Floor East

Forgotten Forms is a collaborative exhibition between members of the Chicago Cultural Alliance, the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture and the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art. Investigating seemingly everyday objects to reveal a much greater story about neighborhood identity, placemaking and city life, the exhibition highlights the work of two emerging artists, both of whom explore structural elements of urban landscapes. Edra Soto revisits Puerto Rico’s vernacular architecture through her GRAFT installations and architectural interventions, and Yhelena Hall touches on the history of Chicago and explores a marginal state of detritus becoming artifacts through her series Polished Remnants. For more information, visit chicagoculturalalliance.org.

Saturday, February 2, 1–3 p.m.: Opening

Forgotten Forms is a DCASE ArtsSpace collaboration, providing exhibition space and support to Chicago arts organizations through an application process.

goat island archive–we have discovered the performance by making it
Performance Space and Activations

February 1–June 23, 2019

Sidney R. Yates Gallery, 4^th Floor North

Exhibition

March 30–June 23, 2019

Exhibition Hall, 4th Floor North

Throughout the 23 years of its existence (1986–2009), the Chicago-based Goat Island contributed to the conception of nine major performance works, accompanied by publications, film and video projects, workshops, summer schools, lectures and symposia, inventing a complex institution bigger than the individual works. Freed from prescribed narrative and dialog, the work of Goat Island is built slowly in a creative process informed by repetition, chance and individual perception. Their democratic, shared activations continue to influence generations of artists, theatre makers, cultural theorists and social philosophers.

In conjunction with the city's Year of Chicago Theatre, nine national and international performance groups and artists have been commissioned to develop and present new work, each inspired by one of Goat Island's original performances. The works-in-progress will be presented at partner cultural venues throughout Chicago as part of the IN>TIME Festival, and “final” works will take place at the Chicago Cultural Center's Sidney R. Yates Gallery, which will be transformed into a scale re-imagining of the church gymnasium where the collective rehearsed. A tenth performance, created as a composite of “Missing Scenes” from the prior nine works, will be presented in June during a week of concluding events. The accompanying exhibition in the Chicago Cultural Center's Exhibition Hall will present archival materials that reflect Goat Island's generative and pedagogic processes and still invite consideration and reinterpretation.

Friday, March 29, 6–9 p.m.: Opening Preview

National Veterans Art Museum Triennial: On War & Survival

May 2–July 29, 2019

Chicago Rooms, 2^nd Floor North, and Michigan Avenue Galleries, 1^st Floor East

With a focus on the visual, literary, performative and creative practices of veterans, the National Veterans Art Museum Triennial explores a century of war and survival while challenging the perception that war is something only those who have served in the military can comprehend. Throughout history, art has provided a frame to create meaning out of the complicated experience of war, seek justice and imagine reconciliation. The NVAM Triennial draws on this history to connect today’s veteran artists with the history of veteran creative practices and their impact on society over the past century. The exhibition coincides with the Veteran Art Summit happening in Chicago May 2–5, with additional presentations, workshops, panels and discussions happening at the National Veterans Art Museum and the DePaul Museum. For more information, visit nvam.org/triennial.

3^rd Chicago Architecture Biennial

September 19, 2019–January 5, 2020

Chicago Cultural Center and other citywide locations

For the 3^rd edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, artistic director Yesomi Umolu and co-curators Sepake Angiama and Paulo Tavares will highlight the transformative global impact of creativity and innovation across creative fields. As the largest international survey of contemporary architecture in North America, previous editions of the Biennial drew more than a half-million visitors to free exhibitions at the Chicago Cultural Center and elsewhere that featured the ideas of 140 practitioners from more than 20 countries, including many from Chicago.

Bronzeville Echoes: Faces and Places of Chicago’s African American Music

Ongoing

Garland Gallery, 1^st Floor South

Explore Chicago’s music legacy through ragtime, jazz and blues in an exhibition that highlights the contributions of important places and people that shaped the music scene. Seldom-seen original artifacts will be on display including sheet-music, rare 1920s records with quirky period graphics–and even the original 1932 telephone booth from the old Sunset/Grand Terrace Café from which the actual music can be heard. The scope is broad and surprising–Ragtime morphs into jazz, Blues transforms into modern gospel, and it all echoes throughout the contemporary genres of House and Hip Hop.

Creative Minds Talks presents “The Art of Storytelling,” featuring Chance the Rapper and Renée Fleming onstage and in conversation at the Lyric Opera of Chicago (20 N. Upper Wacker Dr.) on Saturday, January 12, 2019. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the presentation begins at 7 p.m. Chance the Rapper, a Grammy award-winning artist, producer and Chicago activist and Renée Fleming, Grammy award-winning vocalist, author and entrepreneur will discuss activism, philanthropy, education and entrepreneurship.

An important component of Creative Minds Talks is giving back to the community through donations and support to arts and educational programs. A portion of proceeds from each talk supports various charitable causes focused on fighting global poverty and on arts, education and healthcare for children and youth. For the Jan. 12 Talk, a portion of ticket sales will benefit Chance the Rapper’s Chicago based foundation, SocialWorks. SocialWorks aims to empower youth through the arts, education and civic engagement while fostering leadership, accessibility and positivity.

Creative Minds Talks was founded by Ewa Poilleux in 2015 and this will be its third presentation in Chicago. As the former editor-in-chief of an international publication specializing in foreign relations, Poilleux is continually seeking inspiration and cultural intelligence. Believing that others share the same curiosity, she founded Creative Minds Talks to showcase the “art of storytelling” to a broad audience. As she often says, “Creative Minds Talks is a platform for people who can inspire us, not only professionally but simply as humans.”

Previous events under the Creative Minds Talks platform have included: Common, an academy-award winning artist, actor and activist and Serena Williams, entrepreneur, philanthropist and winner of a record-setting 23 Grand Slam titles; Daniel Libeskind, founder of Studio Libeskind and the master plan architect for the reconstruction of the World Trade Center site; Naeem Khan, the world-renowned fashion designer; and Rhona Hoffman, named by Vanity Fair as one of the 14 most important female gallerists in America.

Tickets for Creative Minds Talks featuring Chance the Rapper and Renée Fleming will be available beginning Dec. 14 for $55. Tickets can be purchased at CreativeMindsTalks.com or LyricOpera.org.

With the support of its partners, each Talk aims to elevate creative and cultural worlds.

All Macy’s Locations

For the 11^th consecutive holiday season, Macy’s is partnering with Make-A-Wish for the annual Believe campaign, giving the gift of joy to children with serious illnesses. By sending a holiday wish list to Santa, shoppers can join Macy’s in celebrating the wonder of giving and help grant the wish of a critically ill child. More than three children are diagnosed with a critical illness every hour that Macy’s is open for business and wishes give these children the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illnesses. Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish for each letter sent, up to $1 million, from Nov. 2, 2018, to Dec. 24, 2018. Customers can write their letters and drop them off in stores in the red Believe letterboxes or submit them online at Macys.com/Believe.

Since 2003, Macy’s has donated more than $112 million to Make-A-Wish, making more than 13,000 wishes become reality in the past 15 years. More than 2.6 million people have been impacted by the wishes that Macy’s has helped grant, including wish kids and their families, volunteers, community groups, nurses, doctors and more. The Believe campaign launched in 2008, and through the annual celebration, Macy’s has donated more than $17 million to Make-A-Wish and helped to grant thousands of wishes.
