Art Futura

Good Morning,
A friend and patron of mine from the Chicago area sent me an email about an upcoming juried art show that some of my fellow artists might be interested in...actually, many of you nonartists and artists might be interested in attending the show. It is to benefit the Rehabilitation Institute in Chicago.

The show is titled 'Art Futura'...I am pasting some information about it (description, dates, contact info.) in case any of you are interested. It is an opportunity to maybe win some cash prizes, have your work seen in a reputable gallery in Chicago, and help a worthy cause.

"This is courage....to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends". Euripides

Thanks for stopping by, and take a look at the information I am pasting below.

The Associate Board of the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago is hosting its 8th annual ArtFutura at the River East Art Center from May 11-20, 2010. ArtFutura showcases work submitted by hundreds of artists from around the country. James Rondeau, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, serves as juror and selects exhibit participants and awards outstanding works. More than 250 emerging artists, civic and business leaders enjoy music, refreshments and artwork on display at the special Closing Night Event on May 20. Proceeds from ArtFutura directly benefit the hospital’s Therapeutic Recreation Department and fund a part-time Art Therapist, who provides art-based therapy for patients. Recreational activities, such as art therapy, enhance socialization, relaxation, expression and adjustment to disabilities for RIC adult and pediatric patients.
