Cornelia Arts Building October Open Studios turns a new leaf

With the completion of a multi-years long remodel, the 38 year old Cornelia Arts Building, at 1800 West Cornelia Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, opens its doors to the public on Friday October 18, from 6 - 10 pm, and on Saturday October 19, from 11 am - 3 pm. Visitors can explore two full-floors of working art studios at one of the largest artist studio buildings on Chicago’s North side, and meet many of the talented artists and artisans in person, experience their art practices up close, and even purchase art and crafts directly from their makers.

Held only four times a year, the open studios events showcase a fresh mix of artists each time, with over thirty-five artists participating in October. Over ninety local artists and artisans work in the building, including painters, sculptors, photographers, ceramic artists, print-makers, jewelers, designers, and much more. October’s special juried front lobby guest artist is Karen Remsen, showcasing her gorgeous oil and mixed-media original paintings and prints, which center on exploring the multifaceted nature of female power and identity, combining photorealism and abstraction. With one-of-a-kind artwork and the unique studio settings, the October Open House offers something for the whole family to enjoy.

Established in 1986 in a former ice-house, the Cornelia Arts Building is located at 1800 West Cornelia, at the border of three distinct Chicago Neighborhoods; Roscoe Village, Lakeview, and North Center.

Come and join the group for a night of exceptional music delivered to you live by Isaiah Collier. Prepare to absorb Free Jazz, Modal, Funk and world sounds. All taking place on Wed Oct 16 2024 at 6:00 PM at Rockwell on the River. It is important that you do not miss out on this night.

Isaiah Collier:
Born and raised on Chicago’s Southside, multi-instrumentalist Isaiah Collier has been surrounded by music his entire life. His father a piano player and mother a vocalist, these were the first instruments that Isaiah learned. At the age of 11 he followed in his older brothers footsteps and picked up the saxophone, under the guidance of Julian Champion. Isaiah began performing as a young teenager in small clubs and lounges with his siblings, throughout the city with his parents standing by in support. In those beginning years he would meet many of his mentors that would help him develop his technique and knowledge of the history of the music, which is a key aspect to not only his sound but his passion for the music he presents. Collier's sound and approach is drawn from the influences of other masters saxophonists such as John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Gene Ammons, as well as two of his mentor Roscoe Mitchell, and, Ari Brown.

The League of Women Voters (LWV) and Friends of Brennemann are sponsoring a non-partisan Chicago Public School (CPS) Board of Education Candidate Forum on Monday, September 30 at 6:00 p.m. at Brennemann School. The forum will also be live streamed at facebook.com/lwvchicago

Many people are not aware that the CPS school board has always been appointed. The state legislature passed a law that the school board has to eventually be fully elected, and the transition to a fully-elected school board is beginning with our November 5th election when half the CPS School Board will be elected.

CPS divided the city into 10 districts for this election; we are in District 4. Our district has the highest number of candidates of any district, and one person from each district will win the election.

FOB and LWV put this non-partisan forum together to bring more light to this important election. Please join us on Monday so that you can be a more informed voter in our upcoming election.

Friends of Brennemann Board Members,

Sue Levine-Kelley, Jenny Maraccini, Jane Sebastian, Lucy Tuck, Lisa von Drehle
