SUMMARY:ELLEN V. & PHILIP L. GLASS HOLOCAUST COMMEMORATIVE SERIES | INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY: “TWO REMAIN: OUT OF DARKNESS” (ACT ONE)
DESCRIPTION:In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day\, gather with us on-site at the Museum for a live opera performance of the first act of Two Remain: Out of Darkness\, in partnership with Chicago College of Performance Arts\, Roosevelt University. \nHer Jewish identity hidden\, Krystyna Zywulska was a political prisoner at Auschwitz-Birkenau. In secret\, she composed lyrics to inspire fellow prisoners\, even as she carried out her harrowing job in the Effektenkammer (storage room) cataloguing the personal effects of thousands of prisoners before they were murdered in the gas chambers next door. Many years after the war\, a journalist asks Krystyana to share her stories\, hoping to record them on a tape player. Haunted and helped by the ghosts of her past— Zosia\, Edka\, Mariola and her younger self\, Krysia — she struggles to find the words. \nJoin us for this unique and compelling commemorative performance that will exhibit the power of art to uplift the heart and cradle of the soul\, and the strength found in the fight for survival. \nThere will be a post-performance Q&A with Roosevelt University featuring Aaron Hunt\, Stage Director; Andrea Jones\, Soprano; Alexis Neal\, Mezzo-Soprano; Dana Brown\, Pianist/Conductor; Daniel Zhao\, Mezzo-Soprano; Kaleigh Watkins\, Soprano; and Tanya Landau\, Soprano. \nFree to the public.

SUMMARY:G-To-G Coaching Sessions: Marketing and Branding for Artists
DESCRIPTION:SSCAC is thrilled to partner with ILA Creative Studio for their G-to-G Coaching Sessions in a 3-part series of artist development resource workshops that intend to help close the gap of limited\, sustainable business resources\, specific to the needs of Black artists. \nEach session will is led by coaches and teaching artists who will provide insight on a specific topic\, with the intention of assisting Black artists to work toward achieving sustainability in their field. \nILA Creative Studio’s G-to-G Coaching Sessions are an opportunity for professional practicing artists (18+) to have space to learn and grow in their respective fields – led by a mentor or coach that provides specific insights on a specific topic. These sessions help to translate effective ways for Black artists to achieve sustainability in their fields. \nWe have some insights for you! \nSecond up\, “Marketing and Branding for Artists”\, led by Amanda Harth. Where she’ll cover all things branding\, marketing\, and art directing strategies for artists and creative entrepreneurs! \n\n\n\n\n\nAmanda Christine Harth is a teaching artist\, researcher\, and entrepreneur. She explores the origin stories of fashion’s subcultures and her findings are presented through exhibitions\, discussions\, and interactive workshops. She was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago in the West Pullman neighborhood. She studied fashion at the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago and owned a clothing company that evolved into a resource for independent designers. \n“Connecting with people over the language of style and how others connect through garments has been a driving force behind my practice. My work is a constant study on the history of textiles and garments in underserved communities impacting change on a global economy. As my craft evolved I became more focused on the individuals in the garments and their stories. I want to create opportunities for people to connect and share their experiences with clothing.” \n\n\n\n\nWe’re excited to have Amanda and her expertise help guide you in the realm of marketing and branding\, for an afternoon of connecting and learning. \nVery limited spots are available. Stay tuned for our final workshop in January!

SUMMARY:NHM Virtual Book Club - The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Hellenic Museum’s Virtual Book Club! \nIn December\, we will be discussing The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break by Steven Sherril. \n Book Club is free to join and meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM CST via Zoom. \n  \nMore about The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break: \nFive thousand years out of the labyrinth\, the Minotaur finds himself in the American South\, living in a trailer park and working as a line cook at a steakhouse. No longer a devourer of human flesh\, the Minotaur is a socially inept\, lonely creature with very human needs. But over a two-week period\, as his life dissolves into chaos\, this broken and alienated immortal awakens to the possibility for happiness and to the capacity for love. \nSteven Sherrill is a graduate of UNC Charlotte and holds an MFA in poetry from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. The recipient of a NEA Fellowship for Fiction\, he has published four novels and one book of poetry. His debut novel\, The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break\, was published in the UK and translated into eight languages. Neil Gaiman selected it as one of six audiobooks to launch “Neil Gaiman Presents” for Audible.com. A prolific painter and nascent musician\, Sherrill is now a professor of English & Integrative Arts at Penn State Altoona.

SUMMARY:Artists First Conversations: Symposium 3
