SUMMARY:3rd Fridays Free Admission Museum Night
DESCRIPTION:Free Admission Museum Nights take place every third Friday of each month from 5 pm to 8 pm! The tour will start at 6 PM on time. All tours depart from the reception desk\, and please be sure to arrive on time. The event offers wine and appetizers. \nThis Friday at 7-7:40 PM\, our Resident Artist 2024 – Irene Hsiao will perform at the Heritage Museum of Asian Art as part of the project If The Sky Could Dream.  \nAbout the Tour –  \nLearn about Asian Art in the Heritage Museum of Asian Art with a guided hour-long tour around the gallery. Museum-trained interns and volunteers will give a talk on selected artworks. Each word is packed with fascinating insights\, information\, and stories. During this participatory experience\, you’ll connect with works from across the collection and get a close look at highlighting artworks. Visitors of all ages are welcome. \nPlease note tours may be canceled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. \nAbout the project –  \nIF THE SKY COULD DREAM focuses on the Chinese dragon as a powerful being that fosters harmony. This creature is emblematic of China as well as a mythological being for many Asian and Western cultures and thus evokes a sense of mysticism\, and intrigue in many communities. Representing the Chinese Dragon as a water deity\, the installation series will feature images and projections of the weather and local bodies of water in Chicago. \nIf The Sky Could Dream is supported\, in part\, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant \nAbout Irene Hsiao \nIrene Hsiao creates performances in conversation with visual art in museums\, galleries\, and public spaces\, a practice that includes site-specific interaction with visual artworks and experimental engagement with artists\, institutions\, and the public. Find out more through our website. \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.

SUMMARY:Soif Solstice: Photography Exhibition\, Wine Tasting\, and Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Join ART WORKS Projects (AWP) and Easy Does It for a special Soif Solstice event\, in collaboration with local wine fair Third Coast Soif\, featuring the debut of AWPs’ Emerging Lens Chicago exhibition\, alongside a wine tasting that further connects us to people and places around the globe. \nAWP is a Chicago-based visual advocacy organization that advances engagement through human rights-based storytelling\, utilizing powerful documentary photography and film-based projects. Last shown at the 2024 Photoville Festival in Brooklyn\, NY\, “Emerging Lens: Safety\, Visibility\, Justice\, and a Hope for the Future\,” features eight global storytellers supported through AWP’s flagship fellowship program\, Emerging Lens. Each of the artists (listed below) represents early-career documentary photographers who cover underrepresented stories across the globe\, pushing the boundaries of traditional photojournalism and storytelling. \nEasy Does It will lead a curated wine tasting of 12 wines\, illuminating the enduring connection between land\, identity\, and resilience. The concept of terroir resonates uniquely in many of AWP’s visual stories\, where natural elements like soil and climate shape and preserve cultural heritage. Photography and wine are living records\, carrying layers of meaning that reflect the past and inform the present. This connection becomes the foundation of artists’ and winemakers’ narratives\, as their resulting works remind us that land is more than just terrain\, but a cultural identity. \nThis is a ticketed event\, from which a portion from each ticket sold will support AWP’s Emerging Lens Fellowship\, providing unrestricted grants\, production support\, and professional mentorship for new and early-career documentary photographers worldwide. During the event\, guests will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets and bid on silent auction items that will help AWP meet critical funding gaps. \nWhile the challenges of our current politically charged environment seem insurmountable\, our stories\, though personal\, often traverse borders and understanding. Join us for an afternoon of building community as we share stories of the people\, the places\, and the wines that connect us all. \nTicket Prices: \nGeneral Tickets: $35 \n\nPhoto exhibition and tasting of 12 wines\n\nVIP Tickets: $75 \n\nWelcome glass\nPhoto exhibition and tasting of 12 wines\n5 Raffle Tickets\n\n*For guests who do not want to partake in the wine tasting\, that’s okay! Please attend\, browse raffle and silent auction items\, and enjoy non-alcoholic and low ABV beverages available for purchase at the bar.
