SUMMARY:Artists First Conversations: Symposium 3
DESCRIPTION:Symposium 3: “How Artists with Disabilities Fit into the Greater Art World” \nArtists First Conversations: Inclusivity for Artists with Disabilities is a three-part symposium series held in tandem with the Chicago Cultural Center exhibition Artists First: Twenty-five Years of Studio Art at Thresholds.

Washington Street\, Chicago\, IL 60602); the symposium will conclude with a Q&A with the panelists. Light refreshments will be available before (10–10:30 a.m.) and after (12–12:30 p.m.) the panel. Attendees from afar can tune into the livestreamed 90-minute discussion from 10:30 a.m.–12 p.m. (noon) central on Zoom. \nThe Chicago Cultural Center is wheelchair accessible and offers accommodations for attendees who are D/deaf or hard-of-hearing and or are blind or low-vision.

SUMMARY:The Greek Diner and the Making of American Cuisine
DESCRIPTION:In this hour-long class\, we will explore the history of the Greek diner and its profound influence on American food culture. On the eve of World War I\, Greek immigrants began buying up the diners abandoned by German Americans facing anti-German persecution brought on by the war. In these kitchens\, the new Greek owners would adapt traditional German travelers’ fare with a touch of the Mediterranean and a pinch of entrepreneurial spirit. The result: A truly American way of cooking and eating.

SUMMARY:Balzekas Museum Award Dinner Honoring "Saulute" Sunlight Children's Aid"
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture honors exceptional individuals who\, through their talents\, efforts\, and achievements\, have distinguished themselves and contributed to the betterment of humanity. The Award is the highest and longest-standing civic honor of its kind outside of Lithuania. The roster of former honorees includes civic and cultural leaders\, physicians\, artists\, scholars\, diplomats\, and even two Lithuanian Presidents. \nThis year\, the Award of Excellence will be presented to the Illinois-based charity “Saulutė” ~ Sunlight Children’s Aid for Lithuania and posthumously to the organization’s founder\, Mrs. Indrė Tijūnėlis. Born from her initiative\, vision\, and resolve\, Sunlight Children’s Aid has brought light to hundreds of Lithuania’s neediest children and raised over $4 million dollars to date\, thanks to the volunteers and donors who lent a hand along the way. Now in its thirtieth year with the next generation of leaders at its helm\, Sunlight Children’s Aid continues to grow and expand its reach to ensure that all Lithuania’s children thrive and achieve their fullest potential. \nThe Award dinner\, which is also the Museum’s annual fundraiser\, is a long-standing tradition and a much-anticipated social event of the calendar year. This year’s attendees will get a ‘behind-the-scenes’ viewing of notable objects in the Museum’s collections including recently acquired paintings\, as well as photographs\, films\, and documents ‘rediscovered’ during our digitization process. \nPlease join us on Saturday\, December 3\, 2022\, at 6 p.m. at the Balzekas Museum\, 6500 S.
