We Are A-TINGLE! ARTRAGEOUS Is Coming!!
Ahh, spring…it’s here now, and we are delighted! Balmy breezes, thawing freezes…Artrageous teases! That’s right, ARTRAGEOUS! It’s our magnificent Spring Event, and we are beyond thrilled that it’s HERE!
Artrageous is a new multidimensional event brought to you by your friends right here at Clark Street in Lincoln Park! Prepare yourself; our own gorgeous corner of Chicago will be transformed into a bustling hub of pop-up art exhibits, cooking demonstrations, live music and entertainment, special attractions and more.
First up? An art contest! Over the past few weeks, scores of immensely talented artists have entered to compete for cash prizes and public accolades; the contest launches on Friday, April 20 with exhibits on display as of noon!. The public (that’s us! You and me!) is invited to view and vote for favorite pieces over the following two weeks, at various businesses and galleries along Clark and Diversey. We’ll let you know where you can view some magnificent art shortly! To keep us happy and satiated as we await the artists awards, Cravings on Clark, a delectable Tuesday night restaurant crawl, takes us on a culinary adventure along Clark Street on May 1. Then, oh joy, it's our exciting main event on Saturday, May 5! The main event, you ask? It’s an all-day, action-filled, always free extravaganza of public art, community fun, restaurant sampling, demos, seminars, and live entertainment! And, at 5pm, it’s time for the Artrageous Awards Ceremony, which will be held at 557 W. Diversey! Too much fun to keep track of? NO worries, simply DOWNLOAD the full program schedule!
