@ Seven Star Venue Space
2017 W Howard St Chicago, IL 60645
Opening Saturday, February 22nd, from 1PM - 4PM
Come raise a glass, meet the artists, eat some cake, and be part of a celebration dedicated to art and community. Here’s to the next 25 years!
Join us as we mark a milestone—our 25th anniversary of championing creativity, vision, and the arts. Longtime Supporter and Guest of Honor Cindy Shanker will join us to commemorate this special occasion.
The event will mark the official launch of our debut publication – a book to celebrate the remarkable history of Arts of Life, Circle Contemporary, and the many artists we have supported. It commemorates our first quarter century as an artist collective and working gallery and highlights a select group of artists who exemplify our core values.
Come raise a glass, meet the artists, eat some cake, and be part of a celebration dedicated to art and community. Here’s to the next 25 years!
