SUMMARY:DuSable Heritage Association's 26th Anniversary Celebration Gala
DESCRIPTION:Join the DHA on March 21st\, 2026 for the DuSable Heritage Association’s 26th Anniversary Celebration Gala at the historic Palmer House Hotel in Chicago! \nCelebrate a quarter century of informing\, educating\, and illuminating the legacy of Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable\, founder of the city of Chicago over 200 years ago\, during an evening filled with elegance and inspiration. Guests will enjoy Exciting live and silent auctions featuring unique items and experiences and a thrilling raffle with fantastic prizes to win. This milestone event will honor their past achievements while paving the way for future initiatives to ensure that the rich legacy of the DuSable Heritage Association continues to thrive. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to make a difference and be part of a night to remember! \nOn the verge of our nation’s 250th anniversary\, let us make DuSable’s role in creating Chicago and contributing to the fabric of our nation. Let us ensure that his life story ceaselessly inspire countless immigrants to accomplish greater feats. \nFor the past twenty-five years\, the DuSable Heritage Association (DHA) has been enhancing the image and legacy of Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable\, born of a black mother and a French father\, circa 1745. Around 1778\, he immigrated to the US\, married Kitihawa of the Potawatomi  tribe\, and established the first trading post at the junction of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan (today’s Apple Store location). This settlement later became Chicago\, and the rest is history.

SUMMARY:Through Fish Eyes
DESCRIPTION:This event is FREE and open to the public. \nTHROUGH FISH EYES: A DANCE PRODUCTION THAT COMBINES ART\, SCIENCE\, AND A CALL TO ACTION \n“Through Fish Eyes” is a unique performance that utilizes dance to create awareness of and evoke empathy in audiences about our dwindling marine ecosystems. This art-science-dance work follows the relationship between mankind and the ocean\, starting at a time when man lived in harmony with nature and ending with the current fragmented world. It brings a voice to water which is all around us in so many forms. The once abundant and thriving ocean has been ravaged by humans. The relationship between man and water is no longer sacred and the damage is done. Humanity is the hand that has been destroyed\, but can it now be the hand of change? \nThis work was initially conceptualized by Kasi Aysola & Madhvi Venkatesh. Research and fieldwork was done at the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns\, Australia. The creative development of this piece has been funded by the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative\, The Boston Foundation\, and the Boston Cultural Council. \n” \nThrough Fish Eyes’ cannot be classified merely as a Bharatanatyam piece – though it has fast-paced rhythmic sections drawn from the art form’s toolkit. It cannot be classified as a Nature drama – though it has marvelous depictions of marine life. It cannot be classified as romantic yearning for the past – though it portrays the idyllic times of yore. At best\, ‘Through Fish Eyes’ can be considered a Call to Arms. It is a devastating depiction of the present and an urgent beseeching to imagine new futures.” – Aditya Venkataraman\, Narthaki.com \n“Transported to a faraway place…dynamic music\, intricate movements\, percussive detailed footwork impressed a story that was well thought out and executed” -Raquel Lake\, Dance Metro DC \nThis project has been funded by the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative\, The Boston Foundation’s Live Arts Boston program\, and the Boston Cultural Council. Prakriti Dance uses the vocabulary of Indian dance to narrate a story that is so relevant to the world today. \n“Through Fish Eyes” has been choreographed by Kasi Aysola\, and conceptualized by Kasi Aysola & Madhvi Venkatesh.\n\nDancers:\nKasi Aysola\nArchana Raja\nMadhuvanti Sundararajan\nHarini Nilakantan\nSangeeta Chettia\nKavisha Prajapathi \n

SUMMARY:Walk Like a Preservationist
DESCRIPTION:How can you look at an historic building and know that it should be preserved or landmarked? Join Adam Rubin\, CAC Director of Interpretation\, and member of the Commission on Chicago Landmarks\, and learn what to look for to determine if a building qualifies for preservation designation. \nChicago’s historic resources lend our city its unique sense of place. But what does it take to legally ensure a building’s protection? How are historic construction materials cared for differently than newer materials? And what will we need to do differently to protect a newer and expanded class of culturally significant sites as they become “historic”? \nThis program is $15 to attend and $7 for CAC Members. \nThis outdoor program will focus on sites near the CAC and the Chicago River and will involve walking less than a mile. The program will begin and end at the CAC. \nPROGRAM SPEAKER: ADAM RUBIN\n \nAdam Rubin is an architectural historian and has worked as a researcher\, writer and preservation educator in cities across the country.

SUMMARY:ReFramed and ReCovered: A Conversation with the Curators
DESCRIPTION:This intimate event brings co-curators for ReFramed and ReCovered into conversation around the many benefits that trees impart to cities. Learn about the vision and themes of these complementary exhibits and join the curators for a gallery tour. \nThis program is $15 for admission and $7 for CAC Members. \nIn “ReCovered: Chicago’s Urban Tree Canopy” we consider the many benefits of lining our streets with trees. This immersive exhibit connects people to an element of nature we are inherently drawn to but often ignore as integral to the livability of cities and resilience of neighborhoods. Through the exhibit’s interactivity\, we can sense how trees serve to soften the hard edges of our built surroundings. \nThe companion exhibit\, “ReFramed: The Future of Cities in Wood\,” transitions from horizontal\, protective cover to a soaring vertical space\, introducing visitors to a very different function for trees in the city: buildings constructed from mass timber\, a new structural material which holds great promise for sustainable development and breathtaking design. \nHear from Ryan Gann and Ian Spula\, co-curators on ReCovered and ReFramed\, respectively. The conversation will be moderated by CAC’s Director of Exhibitions\, Eve Fineman. \nAt the conclusion of the program\, attendees are invited to tour both exhibitions with the curators.
