SUMMARY:Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Chicago’s Loop is an inflection point\, emerging from the pandemic on shaky footing but also with abundant opportunity to transition to something more vibrant\, resilient\, and livable. Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns holds our central business district up to the light\, exploring ways to keep our economic engine humming while diversifying uses and making the Loop more welcoming for everyone. \nThe exhibition frames Chicago’s Loop as a “lab” for examining the shared challenges American downtowns face today. It prompts visitors’ reflection on their own experiences and aspirations and ventures design and policy solutions for reshaping downtowns and our relationship to them. The show espouses the belief that Chicagoans can continue to meet our challenges with vision and resolve\, while also drawing inspiration from more than a century of central area planning and a modern-day exchange of ideas with peer cities. \nLoop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns\, presents a range of projects\, initiatives\, and provocative design ideas centered around four themes: \n\nRESIDE: Where and why are people living downtown?\nRENEW: Can we repurpose existing buildings for long-term public or private gain?\nRECONNECT: Can city dwellers safely and comfortably traverse downtown\, and access its amenities and services?\nREWILD: How are we incorporating green spaces and accommodating nature?\n\nEach theme is developed through a look at case study plans/projects by leading designers\, architects\, and developers. In addition\, a corresponding set of “architectural follies-in-the-round” at the heart of the gallery offers interactive entrypoints for visitors\, inviting engagement with the themes and ideas in unique ways. Further personalizing the content\, vignettes of “downtown denizens” (e.g. residents\, shop owners\, cyclists\, students) feature their individual experiences and hopes for the downtown area. \nTo further drive home the importance of participatory design and planning\, the exhibit features various public engagement strategies and activities\, including interactive elements like an entryway video produced by local podcasters\, 77 Flavors of Chicago\, and a “ballot box” where visitors can write and submit feedback on downtown design issues. \nPhoto of Marina Towers taken by Jason Peterson \nLAB EXPLORER KITS FOR THE FAMILY\nDid you know that the Chicago Loop can be used as a laboratory to learn new things about how we live and play? Stop by the CAC Box Office during the run of this exhibition\, and pick up a Lab Explorer Kit! Contents are designed to engage youth ages 6 to 12.

SUMMARY:Disruptors Exhibition - Celebrating 50 Years of Chicago Women in Architecture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the legacy of Chicago women who have shaped architecture and design industries in the Windy City and beyond through the lens of the 50th anniversary of the Chicago Women in Architecture (CWA) professional group. \nDISRUPTERS showcases the trailblazing founders of CWA\, who 50 years ago broke through the barriers of a male-dominated industry. These pioneers\, lacking their own space\, sat on the floor of an office to conceive of an organization that would support and uplift women in architecture. The exhibition traces CWA’s journey over the past five decades\, celebrating the progress the group has made and its lasting impact on the field while taking a look at the splinter groups that emerged from CWA\, some more disruptive than others. \nThe exhibit was developed in partnership with CWA\, Wink Design\, Ross Barney Architects\, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).

SUMMARY:Heritage in Bloom: The Art of Petrykivka
DESCRIPTION:Kateryna Kryvolap is a Canadian artist\, originally from Ukraine\, whose passion for fine art was nurtured in an artistic family. Though her work spans various styles\, she is known for both contemporary and traditional decorative painting\, particularly Petrykivka—a Ukrainian folk art form recognized by UNESCO. This exhibition celebrates her dedication to elevating Petrykivka from its roots in traditional Ukrainian crafts to the canvas\, bringing it into galleries as a fine art form. \nPetrykivka painting\, originating in the village of Petrykivka\, embodies a unique blend of historical significance and artistic skill\, dating back to the 17th century. Traditionally\, it was used to adorn homes and household items with fantastical flora and fauna\, often including symbolic motifs like the phoenix\, representing harmony and happiness. These designs\, rich in symbolic protection\, are crafted with single\, sweeping brushstrokes\, creating a two-dimensional effect that invites viewers into a world of vibrant simplicity.
