And with unbeatable eateries, museums and creative districts, Chicago is the city to visit now THE CITY The great Midwestern city of Chicago owes its imposing skyline to two things: the Great Chicago Fire in 1871 and the Chicago Columbian Exposition in 1893. The former razed much of the city, sparking a new vernacular of fireproof building (and giving rise to the world’s first skyscraper in 1885), while the latter was an architectural laboratory that spurred on the city’s progressive planning. Frank Lloyd Wright once declared: ‘Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.’ Indeed, last July, eight of his buildings were collectively awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, including the Frederick C Robie house (1908-1910), located in Obama’s old hood of Hyde Park, and Unity Temple (1905-1908), near Alexander Calder’s the architect’s first home and studio in the Oak Park suburb.

  • Framing Race in Personal and Political Spaces
    Framing Race in Personal and Political Spaces New Deal Photographs of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Portraits in Domestic Settings Jennifer Wingate New Deal photographers working for the Farm Securities Administration and the Office of War Information framed Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) portraits on display in domestic interiors to reflect their own perspectives on national politics. The portraits were significant not only for the subjects of the photographs but also for the photographers who decided when and how to capture these interiors on film. Similarities and differences between Jack Delano’s and Gordon Parks’s early 1940s photographs of FDR portraits in American homes highlight this period’s political tensions involving war, domestic unrest, and the beginnings of the civil rights movement.

The findings—the sector’s annual impact of $2.25 billion—have changed the way we are able to talk, fundraise, and advocate for the arts. I am thrilled to see the release of this new version of the report, featuring clarified and visualized explanations of our data. As Chicago Loop Alliance’s immediate past board chair, I am so proud of this project. It is the duty of a downtown management organization like ours to bring people together and share information across sectors. Because Chicago Loop Alliance undertook this report, the results were shared not only with those in the arts community, but with those in real estate, retail, education, hospitality, and beyond. In my role as Chief Development Officer for the Auditorium Theatre, I have used the Arts in the Loop report to secure important corporate sponsorships and augment grant applications, providing crucial numbers and evidencing the economic impact of the arts. In roles like mine, it is important to be able to talk hard numbers and actual impact.

  • Chicago by Night Kickstarter Sneak Peek COMPLETE MANUSCRIPT
    Chicago By Night Kickstarter Sneak Peek COMPLETE MANUSCRIPT © 2018 White Wolf Entertainment © 2018 Onyx Path Publishing Four Trips to the Second City I [PLEASE CENTER NUMERAL] Three dead men cruised through Chicago. Their motorcycles roared as they sped through its busy streets. Ramrod and his ghouls took the rear, keeping any cars behind them at a wide distance. Dread rode in the middle. Tyrus rode in front, leading his gang to one of the city’s union halls, where the Anarchs were meeting. For Tyrus, meeting in respectable places like this was a bad sign. In the old days, the movement kept itself to squatted buildings or crumbling warehouses. Those were better times. Now, so many of the old faces had died or left for the deserts. In their absence, the Anarchs were getting bolder. Tonight Maldavis, one of their greatest shames, called them together for a “discussion on our future.” So, the Wolf Pack went on the hunt. As agents of the Camarilla, they were duty-bound to put the fear of God into them. Kicking their skulls in was just for fun. Tyrus pulled a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his jacket. He glanced at the ghouls. “You two got your shit together?” He didn’t remember their names. He didn’t care. Ramrod mentioned something about them being siblings, the latest in a line of people desperate enough to drink his blood. Tyrus never asked where he got his ghouls, or why they vanished every couple of years. As long as he wasn’t embarrassing the pack, what he did was his own business.

  • Sculptural Commemorations of Abraham Lincoln by Avard T
    The Lincoln Landscape Sculptural Commemorations of Abraham Lincoln by Avard T. Fairbanks EUGENE FAIRBANKS Illinois residents proclaim their state to be the Land of Lincoln. The 2003 commemorative quarter for Illinois features an image of a young Abraham Lincoln holding a law book in the right hand while laying aside an ax with the other hand. The image is based on a famous statue that stands outside the visitor center at Lincoln’s New Salem State Historic Site near Petersburg, twenty miles northwest of the state capital. The statue is the creation of sculptor-historian Avard T. Fairbanks. It is one of a dozen important Lincoln-themed sculptures that Fairbanks completed during his productive career. Fairbanks had an affinity for Lincoln. Through his sculptures he created a com- memorative Lincoln landscape that extends beyond the prairies of Illinois and the pillared buildings of the nation’s capital.1 In his youth, Fairbanks lived for two years on the frontier with his family in a one-room lean-to cabin while homesteading on the prairie of Alberta, Canada. He lost his mother in childhood, as did Lincoln, and missed her guiding influence. “Because I am of pioneer descent and have experienced the frontier during my own childhood,” he wrote, “the traditions of Lincoln have been very much a part of my early training.” He related to the youthful rough-hewn frontier Lin- coln who dreamed of improving conditions for himself and others. As the years passed, Fairbanks became professionally preoccupied with heavy teaching schedules, demonstration lectures, and com- 1. The source of all information and quoted material in this article, unless otherwise indicated, comes from the author’s book, Abraham Lincoln Sculpture Created by Avard T.
