Event Description

Join the Chicago Art Department on Friday December 9th for the 2nd Annual Art of Giving of Art exhibition. In celebration of the upcoming holidays, the Resident Artists at Chicago Art Department are giving gifts of art to you. This show asks each artist to submit a piece of art along with a fun,creative or artistic way for that piece to be given away to people who come to the exhibit.

Examples from last year included portraits that were given away to anyone who looked like the characters in the portrait or parts of a photo series were given to anyone “who had a tough year”. As much as the show is about the art, it is more about how the art is given away.
