	"For a century or more the Chicago arts community has struggled
to define itself in relation to other artistic centers, such as Paris,
New York or Los Angeles. While prominent American artists past and
present have made Chicago their home at one point or another, many left
to make their reputations elsewhere. Rather than submit to the label of
'second' city, can Chicago be seen as a center in its own right with an
artistic perspective and community as distinctive as its geography,
economy and politics? This exhibition shows work by 40 artists, each
chosen by a member of the Chicago art world, and invites viewers to join
in a conversation about who's famous, who used to be, and who ought to
be."

 

Dr. Neil Harris <http://history.uchicago.edu/faculty/harris.shtml>
(Emeritus, University of Chicago) will offer brief remarks introducing
the exhibit at 6 o'clock.

 

AHA attendees are welcome to browse and enjoy refreshments.

Sponsored by the History Department at DePaul University.
