SUMMARY:LEGO & Libations with a Tour of the Wild Mile
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special adult LEGO workshop that includes a tour of The Wild Mile along the Chicago River and then partake in a hands-on LEGO & Libations workshop. \nBring a friend\, grab a drink and enjoy a hands-on workshop where you’ll think like a designer and bring your special nature-focused LEGO creation to life. All LEGO materials will be provided. One workshop registration includes one (1) draft beer ticket and one (1) pass for a future visit to the CAC. \nHosted by the CAC\, Urban Rivers and Off Color Brewing\, this unique workshop combines nature\, libations and LEGO in a fun and engaging way. \nThe Wild Mile is the flagship project of nonprofit Urban Rivers.

Off Color Brewing is an American craft beer brewery and was founded to focus on brewing forgotten styles of beer. \nThe Wild Mile is ADA-accessible\, and participants should be prepared to walk and stand for about half an hour along the river. \nThe program begins with a tour of the Wild Mild and ends at Off Color Brewing Taproom The Mousetrap. \nMeeting point: The Wild Mile\, 905 W Eastman St\, Chicago\, IL 60642 \nEnd point: Off Color Brewing Taproom The Mousetrap\, 1460 N Kingsbury St\, Chicago\, IL 60642 \nThe CAC firmly believes that everyone should have the opportunity to discover why design matters. Should the registration fee be a barrier to your participation in this program\, we invite you to please contact us at CACLearning@architecture.org to apply for a partial or full scholarship.

SUMMARY:Fan Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Immerse Yourself in Traditional Fan Painting. Led by a master artist\, this hands-on workshop guides you through painting and calligraphy techniques on a Chinese fan. All materials are provided—and you’ll take home your own artistic fan\, perfect for cooling off this summer. \n  \nTime & Location\n\n\nJul 26\, 2025\, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM \nChicago\, 3500 S Morgan St 3rd Fl\, Chicago\, IL 60609\, USA \n\n\n\n\nAbout the event\n\n\n\nOnly 28 spots available!! \nRegular Tickets: $15\nMembers: $10\nIn this workshop\, you will have the opportunity to learn and experience the art of creating fan paintings in traditional Chinese style. As a student\, you’ll explore common subjects depicted in fan paintings: landscape\, flowers\, birds\, and more\, as well as learning their symbolic meanings in Chinese Culture.  \nThe instructor will guide you through the techniques of Chinese brushwork as you will learn to manipulate each brush stroke to achieve various forms – from thin delicate lines to bold and dynamic strokes. It’s as if you brought life to paper.  \nThe principles of composition will be another tactic you will explore as you learn to create balance and harmony by using the “three perfections”: Painting\, Poetry\, and Calligraphy. The instructor will provide insight about traditional Chinese aesthetics while guiding you in arranging your subjects on the fan.  \nColor also holds an essential part in fan painting. Using ink and color\, you will create depth in your art. The instructor will demonstrate different techniques that will achieve effects\, such as graduation and texture.  \nOnce you have learned these techniques\, you’ll have the opportunity to add calligraphy to your fan. You’ll learn basic Chinese calligraphy and create meaningful poems or write your name with traditional Chinese brush and ink.  \nBy the end\, you will have created a one-of-a-kind fan painting that reflects the beauty and spirit of traditional Chinese art. You will be taking home a stunning artwork you have created\, along with the understanding of Chinese culture and artistic techniques that have gone through generation after generation.  \n \nAccessibility: \nThe Heritage Museum of Asian Art’s Entrance is on West 35th Street. Take the elevator to the third floor and turn right to the Museum Reception Desk. Accessible and standard toilets are located on the same floor. Free parking space is available next to the museum via West 35th Street.
