SUMMARY:Framed Views (Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:This year\, for the first time\, CAC hosted a Photo Competition during Open House Chicago\, the weekend of October 19-20. Festival-goers of all skill levels were invited to take photos while exploring the city’s architectural sites and submit them in one of four categories: Interior\, Exterior\, Architectural Detail\, and Black & White. \nAfter receiving over 1\,300 submissions\, the photos were reviewed by our curatorial team\, who selected up to twelve finalists for each category. A panel of judges including professional photographers and architecture experts will choose winners from each category to be announced following the opening of the exhibition. Finalists and winners will be on display at The Center\, offering a unique look at the sites and spaces explored during the Open House Chicago weekend. \nThis exhibition is a chance to celebrate the diverse architecture of Chicago through the eyes of the community. Visit to see how different photographers captured the beauty and details of our city. \n\nPhoto by Jennifer Shanahan

SUMMARY:Crossroads of Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Yurii Bandera’s exhibition\, “Crossroads of Worlds” (Перехрестя світів)\, will be on display May 30 to June 22 at the Ukrainian National Museum.His work invites viewers into a space where multiple realities converge: cultures\, memories\, and inner and outer landscapes. Each work is born from the artist’s encounter with these dual realms\, forming a visual dialogue between the seen and unseen. The “crossroads” becomes not just a motif but a philosophical meeting place—one where every viewer is invited to interpret the experience uniquely.The artistic journey of Yurii Bandera began in childhood.He graduated from Lviv Polytechnic University with a degree in Architecture. For over two decades\, he taught at the Stryi Higher Art Vocational School\, continuing to shape generations of young artists.In 2017\, Yurii Bandera’s contribution to Ukrainian art was officially recognized with his acceptance into the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. Now\, in his new world — the United States — he continues to explore and expand his creative vision.
