ACRE Block Party
@ ACRE Projects
1913 W 17th St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Saturday, June 25th, from 12PM - 8PM
ACRE bids adieu for the season with a good old fashioned Pilsen block party! No cover, plenty of free stuff and cheap drinks as ACRE celebrates Chicago’s first official summer weekend. Before we head out to Wisconsin for the 2011 Residency Program, join the ACRE volunteer staff, along with residents old and new, while we lounge in the kiddie pool, and play games and activities for all ages including face painting, water balloon slingshots, temporary tattoos designed by artists, prize wheel, craft table, cheap yard sale and more! We’ll be grilling up some various proteins, veggie and non, and serving sno cones, homemade sparkling lemonade outside and harder (but no less refreshing) fare in the gallery. A city-owned moon bounce is in the works, as is a visit from the local fire department! Chicago musical acts Golden Birthday, Pooper and Pizza Dog will be block blasting at 6pm. Plus, all day long we’ve got great prints by residents and Chicago artists for sale in the gallery. Its sure to be a cool blast on a hot Summer day!
Print sale featuring work by Alex Chitty, Ben Driggs, Scott Fortino, Jenny Kendler, Irena Knezevic, Kyla Rafert, Jennifer Ray, Daniel Shea, Anna Shteynshleyger, Victor Yanez-Lazcano and Scott Whipkey.
