  • Joe Antunovich – to Be Honored **September 13, 2018**
    The Richard H. Driehaus Museum Announces 10th Anniversary Gala Architect and Preservationist – Joe Antunovich – To be Honored **September 13, 2018** CHICAGO (June 4, 2018) – In celebration of its 10th anniversary, The Richard H. Driehaus Museum will host a gala honoring award-winning Chicago architect and preservationist Joseph M. Antunovich, FAIA. The black-tie event is an opportunity for members of Chicago’s thriving philanthropic, cultural, and preservation communities to come together in support of an institution that has quietly become one of the city’s most popular museums. Proceeds will support exhibitions, educational and cultural programming, as well as the ongoing care of the historic building. The Driehaus Museum is one of the few remaining examples of the palatial homes erected in during Chicago’s Gilded Age. The building was originally commissioned in 1879 by Samuel and Matilda Nickerson, whose lives touched many of the most significant events in Chicago’s early history, including the Great Chicago Fire, the founding of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. “When I met Joe in the late 1980s, he had already left the office of the famed Lohan Associates to venture out on his own,” said Museum Founder and Board President Richard H. Driehaus. “I was restoring the Ransom Cable House, where my offices are headquartered. Hiring Joe and his firm proved transforming. They not only completed the project on time, they did it on budget. Later when I purchased the Nickerson Mansion, I naturally wanted Joe on the restoration team.” Founder and president of Antunovich Associates, a 125-person architecture, planning and interior design firm, Antunovich has stewarded numerous significant preservation projects across the nation.

  • CHICAGO — January 16, 2020 — the Richard H. Driehaus Museum Today Announced Plans for the Second Exhibition in Its a Tale of Today Contemporary Art Initiative
    A TALE OF TODAY: NATE YOUNG AND MIKA HORIBUCHI TO OPEN AT CHICAGO’S DRIEHAUS MUSEUM ON APRIL 4, 2020 For the Second Exhibition in the Driehaus Museum’s Contemporary Art Program, Two Chicago-based Artists to Create Site-Specific Works Offering New Perspectives on the Museum’s Gilded Age History CHICAGO — January 16, 2020 — The Richard H. Driehaus Museum today announced plans for the second exhibition in its A Tale of Today contemporary art initiative. Following the success of last year’s installation by Yinka Shonibare CBE, the museum has commissioned two contemporary Chicago-based artists – Nate Young and Mika Horibuchi – to create site-specific installations working with and responding to the complex history of the museum’s 1883 building and its architecture. Conceived as an opportunity for audiences to view the legacy of the Gilded Age – the museum’s main area of focus – from different perspectives, the second iteration of A Tale of Today continues to explore the issues that make that history relevant to society today. The exhibition is curated by Kekeli Sumah, the 2020 A Tale of Today curatorial fellow, with guidance from the Driehaus Museum’s executive leadership and curatorial department. A Tale of Today: Nate Young and Mika Horibuchi will be on view from April 4 through August 9, 2020. “Presenting contemporary art in a Gilded Age setting allows the museum to engage with new audiences in new ways, as many will be experiencing this type of architecture and its history for the first time,” said founder and president of the Board of Trustees, Richard H.

    March 6, 2021 People Saving Places For People Alderman Tom Tunney, Chairman Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE City of Chicago Sandra Rand 121 N. LaSalle St. Chairman Chicago, IL Gary W. Anderson, AIA Vice Chairman 60602 Bonnie C. McDonald President & CEO Dear Chairman Tunney and Members of the Committee: Kathleen A. Swien General Counsel We recently learned of a proposed zoning amendment that would restrict or prohibit Frieda Ireland, CPA establishing cultural exhibits and house museums in “R” zoning districts and requiring Treasurer special use permits in others. While the amendment would grandfather existing Lee Brown, FAICP museums and cultural organizations, this added zoning restriction could be problematic Secretary in allowing future changes or expansion. Landmarks Illinois strongly opposes this Peter Babaian proposed zoning amendment. It will make the future more uncertain for these existing Erika Block nonprofits, already a vulnerable class of small businesses affected by the pandemic, and Tracy Dillard Jean A. Follett will disrupt efforts already underway by several organizations to open cultural Joshua Freedland institutions in important historic buildings. These include the Muddy Waters House in Tim Frens, CPA North Kenwood and the Emmett Till Home in Woodlawn. Mary Ottoson Ziad Salameh Cherryl Thomas Landmarks Illinois works with many nonprofit organizations successfully operating Will Tippens house museums and cultural exhibits in residential neighborhoods throughout the city.
