About The Transference:
The Transference is an indie rock/power pop band from Chicago. Dark themes get paired with playful lines and reflections on inter- and inner-connectedness. Because if we’re going down, we might as well have some fun and love people as best we can.
Initially started as a handful of demo songs written in the middle of the pandemic after the breakup of a previous band, The Transference was founded by singer/songwriter/keyboard player Laura Hollingsworth and former bandmates Alex Karan (drums) and MJ Johnson (bass).
Featuring evocative lyrics layered over pop rock rhythms, the band's pop sound doesn't lack for complexity or attention to detail. Lush harmonies and melodic lines from lead guitarist Justin Wheeler and vocalist Andrea Santiago weave in and out between synths, vibraphone, harmonium, pedal steel, and more. Like an easter egg hunt; the band's playful lyrics and attention to detail make songs worth a second listen.
About Stray Vines:
Original rock band based in the Chicago area making music influenced by classic rock, Americana and grunge.

‘Service charges apply to ALL ticket purchases (online and box office)’ - Credit card only at door
About Haruhi Kobayashi:
Haruhi Kobayashi’s life in sound is woven through her new work, Maybe You Should Talk To Someone. Growing up in Tokyo, she was singing from the moment she could speak, played taiko drums as a child, and first released music eight years ago as a teen J-pop singer-songwriter. Pulling at these past threads, she explores the themes of bi-cultural identity, tradition, and existentialism while seeking to liberate sound from preconception. Her work distills experimental pop, classical composition, and avant-garde songwriting through voice, bass, and electronics.
Maybe You Should Talk To Someone captures a transitional stage of Kobayashi’s practice. The pendulum swing from mainstream pop to experimental is slowly returning to the space in between.
Monastral will release Maybe You Should Talk To Someone as a limited-edition cassette and digital download on January 23, 2025.
About Bloofer Girl Puppets:
Lucy journeys through the night to answer a dark and thrilling call. Weaving through visions, nightmares and foggy wakefulness, found-object-shadow-puppet sister act Bloofer Girl Puppets helps Lucy weigh the ultimate choice.
About Anna Johnson:
Anna Johnson’s hypnotic, devotional sonic landscapes are drawn from explorations of voice and electroacoustic instrumentation. Her sound weaves medieval-influenced vocal melodies, chants, and choral layering with synthesizer atmospheres, heavy drone textures, and forays into experimental pop.

Tickets: Free admission! RSVP BELOW
About Fernando Jones:
If one word could describe this Chicago Blues Hall of Famer and Keeping the Blues Alive Award winning "creative" named Fernando Jones it would be rare. This multi-instrumentalist started off by playing the Blues on the guitar when he was just four years old. Today, he's still going strong as a bandleader. This world-class, internationally known American Bluesman, educator and songwriter was born to loving Mississippi parents on the Southside of Chicago. Jones is one of a few living African American Bluesmen to have a tribute album of his compositions done by a band on a different continent; Jona's Blues Band of Rome, Italy is the group.
Jones has performed his compositions from basement parties to the University of Hawaii to The Smithsonian Institute to the Conservatory of Music in Pescara, Italy to nightclubs in Havana, Cuba. Here is a sample of his scholarly writing in the Journal of Popular Music Studies and awards. In January 2020, the National Association of Music Merchants invited him to host a lecture on the impact of Blues Pedagogy. As a lecturer Fernando Jones has established Blues Camps for youths on the continents of Asia, Europe, North America and the Caribbean island of Cuba. Here's an interview on him done by The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.
As evident of his work(s) demonstrate; here’s why Fernando Jones, a Keeping the Blues Alive Award recipient and Chicago Blues Hall of Fame member is worth investing in as a performer, lecturer and/or an artist-in-residence. Fernando Jones is original in his approach to music with a focus on the Blues and the performing arts.

What have you forgotten? When you found it or rediscovered it were you happy, sad, annoyed, delighted, regretful? It was once important and then it became forgotten. What is new to you was once forgotten by me. The work on display is a representation of compartmentalizing ideas and memories with no distinct beginning or end.

Attend the closing reception for Every Man is an Island by Natasha Moustache on Saturday, February 14th, from 5:00-8:00pm.
Metaphysical poet John Donne famously wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself,” in his 1624 meditation on the interconnectedness of humanity. In Every Man is an Island, artist Natasha Moustache turns this idea inward, asking what it means to exist both within and apart. To belong to a place that embodies solitude and connection at once.
The Seychelles Islands, an archipelago of 115 islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, embody this paradox. In Moustache’s black and white photographs, the island emerges not as a place apart, but as a living communion of body and spirit, humanity and nature, self and divine. Each image becomes a quiet testament to the ways in which life here is interwoven with the elements — water, wind, light, and faith.
Within this constellation of islands, humanity is held tenderly by the microcosm of the islands themselves, a mirror reflecting the vast, interconnected universe beyond.

Event Details
Attend the closing reception for Black Female Presence with Shane-Jahi Jackson on Saturday, February 14th, from 5:00-8:00pm.
The image of the Black woman in Western Art is one riddled with stereotypes, racial mythologies, visions of servitude and sexual transgressions. In 1994, Harvard’s Dubois Institute began a research project which later birthed seven volumes on The Image of the Black in Western Art by Harvard’s scholar Henry Louis Gates and David Bindman. All volumes document in detail the fate of ‘black presence’ in European Art. This exhibition of abstract figurative paintings continue in the same vein but removes all references to European Art to focus squarely on the Black female model but not as a tool to reaffirm white superiority and Christian morals.

Event Details
Attend the closing reception for Jordan Porter-Woodruff’s The Children Play Games on Saturday, February 14th, from 5:00-8:00pm.
In The Children Play Games, the artist explores the fragile relationship between play, perception, and imagination through a lens that intertwines past memories, present realities, and future possibilities. The show invites viewers to reflect on how children engage with their world in an age where Artificial Intelligence and deep Internet culture increasingly shape their experiences and understanding. By juxtaposing traditional play with AI-infused elements the artist creates a dialogue about the shifting boundaries of authenticity and creativity in childhood.
Today’s children grow up alongside intelligent machines while immersed in an endless, unfiltered digital stream. Their minds are trained to scroll and react, often at the expense of slower, tactile forms of play that once nurtured fine motor skills, independent thought, and imaginative problem-solving. Algorithmic feeds promise limitless information but leave little room for open-ended discovery, offering access without the depth of true exploration.
Artificial Intelligence sharpens this dilemma by performing acts of invention that once belonged to the developing mind. From generating pictures to completing stories, AI delivers finished creations that bypass the frustration—and growth—of making something from nothing. When creativity is outsourced to algorithms, children risk becoming consumers of novelty rather than creators of it, spectators to a simulation of imagination that demands nothing of their own.
Against this backdrop, The Children Play Games seeks to reclaim the essential terrain of imagination. Each photograph functions as a portal into a dreamlike, yet critical space where the physical and digital coexist without clear hierarchy. By inviting viewers to step into these constructed realities, the exhibition calls on society at large to consider how we might safeguard environments that sustain curiosity, protect the vital connection between mind and hand, and empower the next generation to shape worlds of their own making rather than surrender to those designed for them.

Event Details
Attend the closing reception forThe Language We Create on Saturday, February 14th, from 5:00-8:00pm.
The Language We Create speaks directly to the role of artists in the world of visual communication.
Throughout the diversity of their explorations, these 11 artists, all cohort residents of Chicago Artists Coalition, remain in dialogue with one another. Each work brings its own context, the clear signature of its creator - a story crafted through the artist’s uniquely defined language. These pieces, while distinct, have common threads that link them one to another.
We see a vocabulary built on textures, colors, and shapes, layered with movement and light in the same way nouns, verbs and adjectives are traditionally woven together in prose. These combinations as envisioned by the artist craft their narrative, document their reality.
Language however, is an inherently social tool used to enhance relationships, for expression and connection. While the work is its own being, it asks the viewer to bring their own interpretation to the experience, linking themselves to the piece as well.

Event Details
Attend the closing reception for Hope Is the Last Thing by Rebecca Keller on Saturday, February 14th, from 5:00-8:00pm.
The works in this exhibition are inspired by Epiphany Center for the Arts’ history as a church building, especially the dedicatory plaque hung around the corner in the hall. The grey and white text-based paintings are inspired by the plaque’s color and shape. But while these paintings initially evoke banal, cliched, vaguely uplifting “word art” in vacation rentals and hotels, the language in them quickly veers into denser, darker, trickier, more complicated interpretations.
Though intended to seem like ‘old sayings’ all the texts are original. They are inspired by Emily Dickinson’s “Hope is a thing with feathers” and the Greek myth of Pandora, who opened a forbidden chest and allowed all the evils in the world to fly out. Panicked, she slammed the chest closed, shutting the gift of hope inside.
The themes of wings, flight and transcendence are continued in the images of birds and boats. Traditional iconography in Christian churches, such images are metaphors for faith and belief. Here again, tropes associated with lightness and beauty reveal their darker side as the birds (our stand-ins?) are sometimes in danger, or in anguish, and boats drift unmoored, without direction. But others float or fly past, unconcerned and unaware.
These works refer to the difficulty of maintaining hope, and the insistence that we keep trying anyway. They call to mind the pain of distress as well as the possibility of grace.

About:
Escape the cold and chaos outside and step into the warm embrace of Winter Torch! Presented by Woman Made Gallery, this gathering celebrating sisterhood blends the soulful acoustic guitar of Robinlee Garber, along with the powerful storytelling of Maureen Muldoon and Jae Green, illuminating voices too often left unheard. At the heart of the evening, the screening of Woman Made Gallery’s virtual exhibit - Quiet Piggy: We Cannot be Silenced, serves as a backdrop and a beacon—representing collective voices of resistance that will not be silenced. Together, the music, storytelling, and exhibit form a chorus of resilience, reminding us that creativity is a radiant torch against the darkness.
Within a candlelit historic former church, come singalong with Robinlee, who describes her music vibe as folksy with a touch of torch. You’ll feel the pull of nostalgia through Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and others – you’ll know all the words. In divided times, music assures us that we belong to one another—empowered and bonded when we sing together.
Emcee Maureen Muldoon is a writer, spiritual teacher, and community leader who founded Maiden Voyages, a transformative program exploring the sacred cycles of womanhood through storytelling, creativity, and spiritual sovereignty.
Jae Green is a Woman Made Gallery board member, writer, second generation artist, mother and cancer survivor, whose poetry can be found in anthologies such as Tia Chucha's Open Fist, Smithsonian Magazine, Hand Over Hand Magazine, Antirhinnium, and Voices from the Heartland.
More than an experience of music and storytelling, Winter Torch supports Woman Made Gallery, ensuring and sustaining art’s power to speak truth, spark dialogue, and resist silence, while allowing a diversity of voices to shine. Attendees will also have an opportunity to shop our pop-up sale of art objects with a feminist bend. A percentage of merchandise and ticket sales supports Woman Made Gallery.

About:
GORAN IVANOVIC – Solo Acoustic Guitarist & Composer
Goran Ivanovic is a genre-defying solo guitarist whose original compositions draw from a rich tapestry of influences—classical, Balkan, cinematic soundtracks, and contemporary harmonic language. Rooted in the acoustic tradition yet constantly evolving, his music blends intricate fingerstyle technique with deeply emotional storytelling.
Born into the cultural crosscurrents of Eastern Europe and shaped by years of classical training and global collaboration, Goran's solo work is a deeply personal exploration of identity, place, and sound. Each piece is a journey—at once intimate and expansive—merging the precision of classical music with the soulful intensity of Balkan folk and the evocative depth of film scores.
This season, Goran will debut a never-before-performed original set, offering audiences a first glimpse of his new material. Additionally, he is set to release a highly anticipated solo record later this year.
Performing on both classical and acoustic guitars, Goran’s playing is virtuosic and lyrical, captivating listeners with fluid dynamics, harmonic complexity, and rhythmic drive. He performs exclusively on masterfully crafted instruments: acoustic guitars by Collings Guitars and classical guitars by renowned Granada luthier Juan García Fernández.

Event Details
Attend the opening reception for Forget Me Not on Sunday, February 22nd, from 2:00-5:00pm.
Forget Me Not features 10 emerging and mid-career Chicago-based artists who showcase the city's burgeoning creative talent and diversity: Mikey Coleman, Stevie Connor, Rex Delafkaran, Bailey Ellens, Bianca Pastel, Alayna Pernell, Juan Molina Hernández, Kitty Rauth, Selma Suleiman, and Marlon Tobias, all of whom broadly reflect on themes of place, home, belonging, and community.
Curated by School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) Arts Administration and Policy graduate students Serena Fox, Isabelle (Izzy) Jaeggin, Tia Lowe, and Helena Rodriguez, in collaboration with Epiphany Center for the Arts, the exhibition presents a diverse range of artistic practices, including installation, photography, ceramics, and sculpture, with fiber, collage, and painting.
Throughout these works, “home” appears not as a fixed location, but as an evolving terrain defined by the act of remembering. Some of the featured artists render these ideas tangibly through their usage of objects, materiality, and the natural world. Others probe the emotional and psychological landscapes of nostalgia and childhood. Characterized by movement and diaspora, these artists draw on archival material, ancestral traditions, and cultural motifs, grounding their work in practices of preservation.
Forget Me Not highlights both the tension and interdependence between individualism and communal belonging. Together, these artists offer an assemblage of perspectives on how we ground ourselves in the world: through ritual, storytelling, connectivity, joy, and resistance. We invite viewers to consider the power of the collective and how, despite our differences, we all find ourselves here, together.

Event Details
Ringleader is a collaborative furniture design project by artists Noël Morical and Mat Mancini, forged at the intersection of sculpture, utility, and irreverent joy. Rooted in their independent studio practices, the duo merges Noël’s intricate macramé technique with Mat’s materially layered, collage-based approach to create hybrid objects that are as functional as they are fantastically whimsy.
The collaboration merges through a heart-to-heart between handcrafted and industrial construction. Noël's use of richly colored paracord—knotted, braided, and tensioned—introduces a tactile softness and sculptural rhythm to the work. Her practice draws from the language of textiles and body adornment, reimagining traditional macramé within a contemporary design context. Chairs, tables, and lighting elements become vessels of texture and intimacy—each loop and knot a deliberate gesture toward intentional care and geometric complexity.
In parallel, Mat brings an eclectic material and cultural vocabulary drawn from cast forms, welded steel display systems, resin-infused prints, and 1990s pop-cultural motifs. Splicing structure with spirit, his practice grazes the edges of contemporary furniture’s conventions, guided by an irreverent yet lyrical sensibility. His surfaces feel both archival and futuristic—evoking suburban skate parks,color block fashion, Greco-Roman columns, and the visual clutter of mischievous, meaningful adolescence.
Together, their work percolates between design, sculpture, and play—producing objects that are performative, customizable, and unapologetically personal. Whether it’s a chair that functions like a stage prop or a lamp that behaves like a wearable artifact, Ringleader treats furniture as a site of experimentation: a place where memory, humor, tactility, and utility converge.

Event Details
Attend the opening reception for Portraits of People Who Make Music by Alexa Viscius on Sunday, February 22nd, from 2:00-5:00pm.
Whether shooting from the vast wilds of Alaska, or the familiar Chicago alleys of her hometown, Alexa Viscius manages to create film portraits that feel like peering into a keyhole. Candid shots reveal coveted glimpses of beloved musicians: like New York Phenom Cameron Winter making adjustments to his musical arrangements backstage before his monumental solo performance at Hyde Park’s Rockefeller Church, or the sensational young Chicago band Horsegirl, running down a hill with a certain excitement and teenage-abandon of a group on the cusp of their breakout record, or a contemplative moment shared between longtime friends and prolific Chicago indie rockers Max Kakacek and Julien Elrich of Whitney, sitting in Kackek’s grandparent’s bedroom in Portman, Wisconsin. Many of her portraits, taken at her longtime studio in the historic Flatiron building in Wicker Park Chicago, retain that same sense of tenderness: A portrait of renowned New York musician, and frequent collaborator, Adrienne Linker of Big Thief, displays a sense of intimacy and trust. It’s a trust that has been earned through 20+ years of mastering her craft, allowing her subjects to open up, revealing themselves like flowers. From legendary Chicago DIY venues of yore, to international stages and all those quiet moments in between, she’s been there thru it all, with her finger on the shutter, capturing the music and the people that make it.

Event Details
Attend the opening reception for Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue by Ben Foch on Sunday, February 22nd, from 2:00-5:00pm.
“Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue” is an exhibition of select works from Chicago artist Ben Foch that span the past 20 + years of his making. Some works are from the early 2000’s, never before exhibited seminal beginnings. Some works are from the 2014-2018 era, created after the 1st and 2nd incantations of his artist-run project space New Capital, and of course, something new from 2026 will be selected.
Cinderella, Dracula, Raiders Logo, Scotch Tape Plaid, Newport cigarettes, Tupac Shakur; these are some of the source content(s) that generate an origin narrative for the painting practice of Ben Foch. It could appear to be a contemporary interpretation of a Pop Culture narrative in art, and in the sense that Foch is engaged in discovering and/or defining an avant-garde in the 21st century, it is. Yet, his work, now in its mid-career mature phase, finds its roots in the 1960’s and 70’s Conceptual practices of On Kawara, Roman Opalka and Olivier Mosset. The only difference being the veneer.
This exhibition is a meditation on and a celebration of life dedicated to making. It’s important to tell our stories; to ourselves, so we can know who we are, to each other, so we can know one another, and to share them with the world at large, so we can manifest our being through shared acknowledgements of time and space. Stories can be told in many ways. This exhibition is an accounting that reflects one artist through a curated look of their past in the present.
We are the stories we tell ourselves.

Event Details
Parallel Acts: A Practice of Staying by Soo Shin and Tim Stone on Sunday, February 22nd, from 2:00-5:00pm.
Parallel Acts: A Practice of Staying brings together two practices that understand gesture as a durational condition rather than a singular event. In both bodies of work, movement is sustained over time, and repetition becomes a means of transformation rather than reproduction.
In Shin’s ongoing series, Pas de Deux, Soo Shin constructs a buoyant vessel that floats in the Pacific Ocean while tethered to her body. Paper and pigmented wooden balls move freely within the structure, allowing ocean currents to register motion across the surface. Gesture emerges through sustained presence and shared agency between body, material, and environment, recorded as residue over time rather than intention.
Tim Stone’s works are formed through repeated return to a single drawing. By tracing and retracing his own marks over extended periods, he allows accumulation to alter the surface. Through accumulation, the surface slowly transforms: compression builds, sheen develops, and the drawing shifts toward another material state. Staying with the same gesture becomes a means of altering both surface and substance.
Placed together, these practices unfold as parallel acts of staying—where movement persists, time accumulates, and matter becomes the record of duration.

Event Details
Attend the opening reception for tether me to the ground or let me float
on Sunday, February 22nd, from 2:00-5:00pm.
Through the investigation of personal histories, familial ancestry, and the weight of place, the six ACRE alumni artists in tether me to the ground or let me float consider how we gather fragmented ideas of place and identity to piece together notions of belonging and grounding.
Grounding becomes a means of navigating obscured histories and solidifying ourselves, our ancestors, and our communities to a place. tether me to the ground or let me float examines how we ground ourselves within our own histories and how we become informed and infused by the places we occupy.
The exhibition questions the complexity of home, the relationship between the environment and the body, and the fragility of temporalities. Molded and shaped by the landscapes that surround them, the artists in the exhibition explore the multifaceted, imperfect, and often difficult undertaking of building an ecology of belonging that radically imagines our relationships to the ongoing history of a place.
Unearthing and breaking down these relationships, the artists reflect on space in relation to memory, migration, community, and spirituality. They consider the tangible traces of our presence and the ephemeral quality of the personal and ancestral histories that both tether and release us from the places we pass through and remain in. Place and home become at once stark and ephemeral in these narratives, inviting the viewer to imagine how we locate and ground ourselves within these complexities.

Kehsin’s septet invites audiences on a lush musical journey into the heart of Brazilian bossa
nova, celebrating the timeless artistry of composer, pianist, and songwriter Antonio Carlos
Jobim. Known for his elegant melodies and cool, understated rhythms, Jobim helped transform
Brazilian music into a global phenomenon.

Coração.” Blending familiar favorites with lesser-known treasures, the program offers a rich,
multidimensional portrait of Jobim’s legacy.
With warm harmonies, intimate textures, and the breezy charm of authentic bossa nova, the
septet creates an inviting atmosphere where audiences can unwind, sway, and savor the beauty
of this influential musical tradition. Expect an evening that is both relaxed and exhilarating — an
immersive tribute to the poetic brilliance of Antonio Carlos Jobim

About:
If you were around during Chicago’s underground House Music movement or Rave scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s, then you’ll be utterly familiar with the name Julio Bishop. Whether from appearing weekly on some of the hottest party flyers throughout the Midwest or because you had a copy of his now infamous mix tape, “Love Nation” sold out of all the local record stores, the name Julio Bishop is synonymous with jacking dance floors since 1987.
Getting his start as a dancer and DJ in Chicago’s nightclubs and warehouses, but soon expanding his influence; from NYC to LA, to the beaches of Miami, Puerto Rico and Mexico, Germany and Sicily, Julio has been bringing his deep, mystifying grooves to the world for over 3 decades. His intimate knowledge of classic Afro-Latin and Jazz, , as well as his acquired proficiency of Disco, Electronica, Club & Deep House takes his sets far outside the realm of what is attainable by a greener selection of DJ’s.
Funneling his talents into the studio in the early 2000’s, Julio helped launch RealDEEP Recordings, along side label partner Brian Cullen (aka Bjak) where, together they paved the way to further coproductions and solo projects on labels such as Deep Explorer Music (Madrid) and Eargasmic Recordings (Chicago).
With more releases on the way and a selection of upcoming gigs scheduled between Chicago. Puerto Rico, LA & Hawaii, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come next from this proved House Music veteran.

About:
Linda Marie Smith is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter, composer, and multimedia performer whose work transcends the boundaries of traditional concert performance. Known for creating immersive music-multimedia experiences, she blends original songs, live ensemble performance, and evocative visual storytelling to bring history, folklore, and art to life. Her work has been praised for its emotional depth, its theatrical scope, and its ability to connect audiences to the lives of extraordinary women across time and culture.
Epiphany Center for the Arts is the setting for the premiere of Smith’s newest work, Frida Kahlo ~ A Woman Who Dared. This powerful concert explores the passionate and turbulent life of the iconic Mexican painter. Through original music, vivid narration, and striking video projections of Frida’s paintings and photographs, Smith and her ensemble guide audiences through Kahlo’s coming of age, tempestuous relationships, physical struggles, and enduring courage. The premiere offers the first opportunity to experience Frida’s story brought to life through a moving fusion of music, imagery, and narrative.
Smith’s artistry is rooted in her fascination with strong, resilient women whose lives embody both struggle and triumph. Her acclaimed works include Mearra ~ Selkie from the Sea, a haunting Celtic tale nationally aired on PBS, and The Triumph of Artemisia, which illuminates the life of Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Each project reflects Smith’s distinctive ability to weave song, story, and imagery into deeply immersive audience experiences.
With Frida Kahlo ~ A Woman Who Dared, continues Smith’s commitment to creating work that inspires, educates, and uplifts. This premiere celebrates Kahlo’s fearless individuality and her unwavering devotion to truth and self-expression, offering an unforgettable performance that resonates across generations.

Fresh off his sold out European and North American tour, Justin Nozuka is riding the momentum from his 5th studio album, “Daydreams & Endless Nights”.
