Special Events
Third Saturday Series
In an effort to make community events easier for WWS members and others to host and attend, we’re moving the semi-regular Third Friday series to Saturdays, beginning Sat., Nov. 20.
Current Art Exhibits — “It’s All About Place”
Abstracts + Aerial Landscapes by Kevin Swallow
Artist
Kevin Swallow works with a range of media — from paintings
and photographs to screen prints and digital media — at his studio in
the Cornelia Arts Building in Chicago, which occasionally hosts open studios
and special events for the public. In addition to Cornelia Arts Building events,
he has exhibited in more than 16 group and solo shows, including the 2010
Ravenswood Art Walk and long-running shows at The Writers WorkSpace, NextWave
Art Salon, Urbanest, and numerous coffee shops. A Chicago resident and frequent
traveler, Swallow draws inspiration by walking and photographing the city.
He then experiments with a variety of media to convey the rich textures and
sensations of urban architecture, music, street art, and graffiti. Learn more
from the artist’s website and blog:
