Today & tomorrow would be a great time to complete your assignment to visit a museum, event, or gallery in Chicago: see local potters & sculptors at work! The Ravenswood Art Walk is only open once a year & it is a great event for ceramics fans. Here is the link: http://www.artwalkravenswood.org/ It runs up Ravenswood along the Metra train tracks, between Cornelia (just south of Addison) up to Montrose Ave., where artists have converted old warehouses into studio spaces and lofts. It's fascinating to see artists at work, making a living from selling unique pieces of art. For the assignment: Upload 20 digital pictures to your Flickr account, including one or more of yourself at the location. (You will need to create a flickr acct. if you do not already have one; I'll send you an invite...) I hope lots of you get a chance to go to part of the events. They have artists giving demonstrations such as "Throwing Plates" at 4043 N Ravenswood at 1pm & 4pm today, 12pm, 2pm, &4pm tomorrow - and - from 12-5pm today & tomorrow you can see welders making sculptures at the Fire Arts Center of Chicago at 4147 N Ravenswood. Don't miss it!!!
