AWARE – Artists With A Reason Exhibit

@ CROMEgallery

3118 S Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60608

Opening Friday, November 18th, from 6PM - 9PM

On view through Saturday, November 19th

A themed group exhibition showcasing art that covers topics people need to become aware and do something about in order to help move this world forward.

ARE YOU JUST AWAKE? OR ARE YOU AWARE?

Each artist will choose a topic that will also be themed with a charity of their choice, where 50% of their sales will be donated to that charity.

We are so thrilled with the artists participating in our first of many A.W.A.R.E. events to help raise awareness of ongoing issues within this world that we hope it will create a movement, spread positivity, and awaken people so much that it inspires them to also get involved to promote a positive change.
