Ground Floor
@ Hyde Park Art Center
5020 S. Cornell Avenue Chicago, IL 60615
Opening Friday, December 12th, from 6PM - 8PM
On view through Sunday, March 22nd
Ground Floor brings together work by Chicago’s most promising emerging talent, offering a single destination to discover the spectrum of artists whose work demands to be seen and supported. Ground Floor—so named because it provides a crucial platform for young artists and fills the entire lower level of the Art Center—is an ongoing biennial project. Based on nominations by respected members of the arts community, Hyde Park Art Center’s Exhibitions Committee of artists and curators select work by recent graduates from each of Chicago’s nationally top-ranked Master of Fine Art programs: Columbia College Chicago, Northwestern University, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, The University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Chicago.
An opening reception for the exhibition will be held Friday, December 12 from 6 – 8 pm.
“Ground Floor” 2014 artists are: Evan Baden, Hannah Barco, Greg Browe, Houston Cofield,
