About:
Freddie is the embodiment of the Chicago Blues. The 2nd son of the world-famous 7th Son, Willie Dixon, Freddie has been surrounded by the Blues since the day he was born. His father is a blues legend as a song writer, producer, and musician. Willie was at the helm at Chess Records for many of the sides cut in the 1950’s, 1960’s and into the 1970’s.
Freddie began his blues career learning his chops playing with a number of musicians in south side blues clubs. He was soon hired to play in his father’s band, The Chicago Blues All-Stars and traveled around the world spreading the gospel of the blues.
The torch was handed to Freddie in the early 1990’s when his father passed away. Since then, Freddie has continued as a blues ambassador playing to crowds from Europe to Australia as well as locally in Chicago. In 2020 Freddie, along with Chicago Blues legends John Watkins and Maurice John Vaughan produced a 2 disc CD called “3x3,” which is available at most on line retail outlets.
Freddie is a member of the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame and currently resides in Chicago with his wife Linda.

About:
Afro Dead is a musical collective formed in 2022 by Aaron Feder to reimagine the music of the Grateful Dead in Afro-Pop styles, such as soukous, Afrobeat, high-life, reggae and more. He has been able to use his experience as founder and band leader of Alma Afrobeat Ensemble (four albums, four US tours) and co-founder of the record label Slow Walk Music (home to African music made in Spain) resulting in a Summer 2024 tour of the US and Canada, and a Fall 2024 tour of Spain.
For 2026 the band will feature the amazing Zimbabwean-American singer Lady Chi (Chiedza Kundidzora). She is a fixture in the Grateful Dead world, touring with Melvin Seals and JGB, as well as many other funk/soul projects.
Aaron Feder has been a lifelong participant in the Grateful Dead’s music scene, having played and recorded with Grammy award winners Peter Rowan and Eric Krasno, as well as members of Phil Lesh and Friends, Greensky Bluegrass, Leftover Salmon, Everyone Orchestra and much more. Aaron’s varied musical experiences has helped create a vibrant, one-of-a-kind musical project, mixing classic Americana compositions with danceable African grooves and a healthy dose of improvisation.
The band’s version of Dark Star was featured on the compilation “The Music Plays the Band” alongside Dark Star Orchestra, Oteil Burbridge, ALO and many more.

About PIWA:
About Alexis Plaen:
Alexis Plaen is a Chicago-based alt pop singer-songwrtier set to make her mark with her genre-defying debut album, Enjoy the Void. Originally from Minneapolis, Alexis blends her electronic pop rock sound, introspective lyrics, and multi-media artistry to build her surreal world of the Void, which chronicles her epic journey through an existential crisis. Alexis' lyrics explore themes of existentialism in a capitalist society, the search for meaning amongst chaos, connection, and transformation. She searches for the divine in the digital and the ethereal in the mundane, creating cinematic experiences that speak to a dreamscape of the human condition. By combining emerging technology with timeless stories and mediums, Alexis' world invites listeners to both escape reality and confront it at the same time.
Enjoy the Void's philosophical themes are deeply influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and a personal tragedy in 2023 when Alexis' apartment burned down during the making of the record. Although Alexis lost everything she owned to the fire (including her pet cat), she slowly rebuilt as they finished the album and her resilience and healing journey have become infused into the fabric of the Void. Her stories have become more than just songs— they are a rallying cry for change, personal reflection, and growth from an unyielding spirit. From sculpting her own props to hosting immersive events for fans, Alexis is just getting started and has no plans to slow down.

Event Details
Attend the EXPO reception for Forget Me Not on Sunday, April 12th, from 2:00-6:00 pm.
Forget Me Not features 10 emerging and mid-career Chicago-based artists who showcase the city's burgeoning creative talent and diversity: Stevie Connor, Rex Delafkaran, Bailey Ellens, Juan Molina Hernández, Bianca Pastel, Ava L. Peterson, Alayna Pernell, 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.
While some of the featured artists render the ideas of place, home, belonging, and community 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
Attend the closing reception for Ringleader Noël Morical and Mat Mancini on Sunday, April 12th, from 2:00-6:00 pm.
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 closing reception for Portraits of People Who Make Music by Alexa Viscius on Sunday, April 12th, from 2:00-6:00pm.
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 EXPO reception for Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue by Ben Foch on Sunday, April 12th, from 2:00-6:00pm.
“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 incarnations 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
Attend the closing reception for Parallel Acts: A Practice of Staying by Soo Shin and Tim Stone on Sunday, April 12th, from 2:00-6:00pm.
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 closing reception for Ptether me to the ground or let me float
on Sunday, April 12th, from 2:00-6:00pm.
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.

With old soul vulnerability and a rich vocal palette, indie artist Susie McCollum lives at the intersection of raw emotion and refined craft. Originally from New York City and now based in Chicago, McCollum blends timeless songwriting with a contemporary edge - drawing inspiration from artists like Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, and Amy Winehouse.
A lifelong student of music, McCollum’s journey spans opera, theater, jazz, R&B, & folk - providing an eclectic background that informs her textured, authentic sound. Her mesmerizing and poetic lyricism is fueled by compassion, wit, and an insatiable curiosity about the human experience. Susie is also a self-taught guitarist - a pandemic hobby turned renewed sense of artistic purpose.
Susie arrived on the scene with the celebrated single “New Year’s Eve” in 2022, praised by A&R Factory as a “part-love song, part-indie-soulful ode to bittersweet tradition.” Her 2024 debut EP Tempt My Fate captivated audiences as "stirring and uniquely powerful” (CLOUT Magazine) for its soulful vocal and poignant songwriting.

In addition to singing, writing, and producing, Susie has also honed her skills as a recording engineer - enabling her to truly inhabit every layer of the creative process.
Susie released her highly anticipated single “Abigail” on October 24th, whose "dreamy hush works medicinally; it doesn’t push catharsis, it coaxes it" (Uranium Waves). The work is fueled by finding a home within oneself and asking: what does it mean to truly grow up… and do we ever?
Through heartfelt melodies and soul-stirring lyrics, Susie invites listeners into a shared space of introspection and re-invention - marking her a singular and invaluable talent in today’s music scene.

About:
Grammy-nominated Victor Garcia is a musical force to be reckoned with…
Examiner.com’s Neil Tesser calls him “one of the most exciting young musicians.” Chicago Tribune’s Howard Reich says that he “stands out as an ebullient soloist offering a formidable technique and a radiantly polished tone.” JazzChicago.net’s Brad Walseth regards him as a “young lion trumpeter.”
He’s as versatile as he is creative. His trumpet talent heralds his international acclaim. He sings, plays percussion, and his songwriting, arrangements and charts have led him to professorial positions at Roosevelt University, Loyola University and the University of Illinois in Chicago.
The lineup of greats he’s performed with speaks for itself: Aretha Franklin, Arturo Sandoval, Spoon, Monty Alexander, Wynton Marsalis, Victor Manuelle, Nicholas Payton, La India, the Temptations, Steve Turre, BeBe Winans, Tito Puente, Jr., Paquito d’Rivera, Christian McBride, Randy Brecker, Branford Marsalis, The Isley Brothers, and Dr. John. He released his debut album, The Grind/The Groove, in 2018 and he’s recorded on dozens of other albums, three of them Grammy-nominated.

About:
Step into one of Chicago’s most beautiful hidden gems for an intimate evening of piano music that goes far beyond the expected.
Pianist Olga Ridgway invites you on a journey through passion, imagination, and storytelling at the stunning Epiphany Center for the Arts. Whether you’re a lifelong lover of classical music or simply curious for a unique night out, this concert is designed to draw you in, surprise you, and leave you inspired.
The program pairs two extraordinary works:
Johann Sebastian Bach — Partita No. 6 in E minor
A powerful and deeply expressive masterpiece — intricate, emotional, and quietly mesmerizing.
Robert Schumann — Carnaval, Op. 9
A vivid musical story filled with playful characters, romance, humor, and drama — almost like a theatrical performance told entirely through music.
An internationally acclaimed pianist, Olga has performed across Europe and the United States, with appearances at venues including the Chicago Cultural Center, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Merkin Hall in New York City, and Carnegie Hall. Known for her expressive depth and captivating stage presence, she brings warmth and humanity to every performance.
Originally from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Olga’s musical journey has taken her from Europe to Chicago, where she now serves on the piano faculty at the Music Institute of Chicago.
But this evening is not about credentials — it’s about connection.
Set inside the breathtaking, candlelit atmosphere of Epiphany Center, this is a rare chance to experience world-class piano up close — where every note, every nuance, and every emotion is felt just a little more deeply.
Come for the music. Stay for the experience.

About:
Imagine if Johnny Cash, Patti Smith, Nick Cave, T-Bone Walker and Bob Dylan got together to write a song for Twin Peaks— that’s Superfrye’s music.
A reverb-drenched guitar sits in the center of the stage. In Superfrye’s hands it becomes the sound of empowerment, rebellion, truth and freedom—wrapped up in storytelling of a folk artist diving headfirst into the struggles of real people; this is raw roots with soul. It bursts with outlaw and outsider energy, yet with full control Superfrye constantly toys with the edges of emotion, from haunting to hilarious and back again. With her vast catalog of originals and covers to draw from in styles from roots to flamenco, R&B to blues, lounge to punk, her songs bring you the sound of the terroir of the places she’s been and years she’s lived, as well as where she’s going next. Come along on the adventure.
Superfrye is an accomplished and innovative performer who has played all over Chicago, solo and with her band Superfrye & The Valiant ’72s. Highlights include a three-year residency at Rojo Gusano in Ravenswood, hosting and building a successful open mic at Artifact Events, as well as being featured with her band on WZRD 88.3 FM.

About Lilla Sol:
Lilla Sol is a Chicago-based sister duo that creates genre blending music rooted in storytelling. For these sisters, music is a means of cathartic expression; a key to deeper understanding of both personal and shared experiences. Their sound explores sonic realms that include piano, synth, cello, guitar, and lush vocal harmonies.
About Manasseh:
Manasseh is a Chicago South Side-born vocalist, songwriter, arranger, and creative director whose work bridges soul, R&B, jazz, and cinematic soundscapes. Raised in the church and influenced early on by his mother—a gifted vocalist—his musical foundation was shaped through years of choir singing, which continues to inform his emotive, technically precise vocal approach.
Currently working as a vocal/session coach, background vocalist, songwriter, and music supervisor, Manasseh is widely regarded as a trusted collaborator and “go-to” creative for artists across genres. His work has appeared in major cultural spaces and media outlets, including the Chicago Tribune, EarMilk, and Ambient Vibez. His song “Inches” was featured on Tyler Perry’s BET hit series Sistas (Season 2, Episode 4).
In addition to his work as a recording and performing artist, Manasseh served as Music Supervisor for the short film Take 290, further expanding his footprint in visual media and narrative-driven sound design.
Manasseh has toured and collaborated with Grammy-nominated jazz trumpeter Marquis Hill, contributed vocals to Composers Collective: Beyond the Jukebox, and joined international pop star JoJo on her Too Much To Say Tour and at the Taste of Chicago. He has also served as music supervisor for the short film Take 290, created original programming for Malcolm X College, and regularly headlines shows and high-end corporate events nationwide.
His debut album Monochromatic Dream was released in 2022, followed by EPs including Variations V1 – I’ll Be. His forthcoming album, R&B[eyond], arrives Spring 2026 and is already earning early praise, signaling a bold next chapter in his evolving artistic vision.
About Moyana:
MOYANA makes music that makes a difference. In the face of historical erasure, she creates an accessible living archive for her listeners through intentional lyrics and blending of R&B, hip-hop, and jazz.
In 2025, she released her debut album PTCHWRK, produced by 7VNTH, which was recognized by the Chicago Tribune, These Days Magazine, Vocalo, and the Chicago Reader. Her awards include the 3Arts Make-a-Wave Grant, the Black Music Action Coalition’s Victoria Monet x Music Maker Grant, the CITIBank LGBTQ+ Emerging Artist Award, the Recording Academy Quinn Coleman Scholarship, and the John Walt Foundation Young Artist Scholarship.
She currently serves on the board of the John Walt Foundation and is a voting member of the Recording Academy’s Chicago Chapter.
MOYANA works as a music educator with Chicago Opera Theater and the Lyric Opera of Chicago to uplift the next generation of artists, and offers private vocal coaching for performing professionals.

Attend the opening reception for The Desert as Mirror by Sarah and Joseph Belknap on Sunday, May 3rd, from 2:00-5:00pm.
We went to the desert for the eclipse. If we squinted, we could pretend we were on Mars.
We hadn’t been out of the city for a while and saw the biggest sky - it made us feel so incredibly tiny. We slept outside and ate outside and hiked outside.
We tried to look at every rock we passed. Everything was red and brown and felt so warm.
We brought our medium format film camera and photographed the landscape, something we both remember doing but hadn’t done together. The last time one of us intentionally shot the landscape was more than twenty years ago.
When we developed the film back at home, we could squint and pretend we had been to Mars.

Event Details
Attend the opening reception for The Desert as Mirror by Sarah and Joseph Belknap on Sunday, May 3rd, from 2:00-5:00pm.
How Close Can You Get to a Stranger is an ongoing, evolving photographic series featuring a selection of images from a larger body of more than 2,000 photographs taken by Piper between 2018 and 2024 across Paris, Étretat, Bordeaux, Arcachon, and Biarritz.
How Close Can You Get to a Stranger is a continuous exploration of Piper’s recurring subject of choice - the stranger. To him, this proximity to the subject is an extension of his fascination with scales of intimacy. Arranged along a progressing gradient of proximity, far away landscapes sequentially become detailed portraits. Piper invites the viewer to perceive themselves through the eyes of a stranger, as if meeting for the first time - suspending the moment of first recognition as a practice of releasing judgements and an affirmation of an eternal gaze.
“To my subjects, you were once a passerby in my life, yet now I look at you, so intently”

Event Details
Attend the opening reception for First Annual Chicago and Vicinity Riso Exhibition by Spudnik Press on Sunday, May 3rd, from 2:00-5:00pm.
The Chicago and Vicinity Riso Biennial is a regional exhibition celebrating risograph printing as it is being made right now across the Midwest. The show brings together artists from Chicago and Illinois along with the surrounding states — Iowa, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Indiana — working in a medium defined by experimentation, accessibility, and the particular beauty of ink on paper.
Risograph printing occupies a unique space — rooted in zine culture and independent publishing, but increasingly embraced by artists pushing at the edges of what the process can do. Its layered spot colors, soy-based inks, and analog unpredictability make it a medium that rewards curiosity and collaboration.
This biennial is both a survey and a celebration, and a cheeky nod to the Art Institute of Chicago's now defunct Chicago and Vicinity exhibition. This show is a chance to bring Midwest riso work into conversation with itself and honor a tradition of showing regional art, grounded in the independent, artist-driven print culture of the Midwest.
This exhibition is a part of a summer of midwest riso exhibitions organized by Spudnik Press. A sister exhibition, 1st Annual Chicago and Vicinity Riso Exhibition, is curated by Duncan MacKenzie, Ryan Peter Miller, and Christopher Sperandio. will be taking place at Spudnik Press: 1821 W Hubbard St, #302, Chicago, IL 60622 from June 26-August 14, 2026 ( opening June 26, 6-8pm)

Date and Time of Event: Sunday May 3rd 2-5pm
Location of Event: Guild Room
Attend the opening reception for After the Flood by Alex Stark on Sunday, May 3rd, from 2:00-5:00pm.
After the Flood is a collection of works made both before and after a flood in the artist’s studio. Stark began making a new body of collages in which he began covering parts of his previous salvaged paintings. Collaging on Stark's former damaged works becomes an act of revival, highlighting the resilience and ability of the body to adapt. The figures are ornamented and adorned in a way that is expressive of the relationship to these divine forms. The collaged imagery is photographic, combining and recontextualizing images of food, animals, architecture and nature into Stark’s own narrative, based around the body. These unconventional figures in crowded scenes form a sensory relationship with the viewer.
As a disabled queer artist, Stark’s work contemplates his own body and the manifestation and idea of belonging in a place. Physicality is central to his work through play with different materials that integrate drawing, painting and collage with an emphasis on visible mark-making. A language and narrative is developed around figures’ natural and vulnerable state of nudity and their expressive poses that often relate to the spaces they occupy.

Event Details
Attend the opening reception for Trespasses by Angelo Dolojan on Sunday, May 3rd, from 2:00-5:00pm.
Trespasses is a series of graphite drawings concerned with proximity and how bodies, histories, and interior lives intersect. The works examine moments when boundaries blur and strangers cross into one another’s emotional terrain.
The title suggests both entry and overreach. To trespass is to cross a threshold without certainty of permission. It is also to risk closeness. The drawings dwell in this unstable space: between invitation and intrusion, tenderness and exposure, connection and aftermath.
Rendered from memory, the images resist documentation. They are partial reconstructions; scenes filtered through time, shaped as much by distance as by recall. Memory becomes the primary material: unstable, selective, and charged. What remains visible is not chronology but atmosphere and the feeling of having briefly occupied a shared interior and then stepped away.
Installed within Epiphany Center for the Arts, a space that once functioned as a church, the exhibition quietly acknowledges the building’s earlier life. Religious spaces have long been places where private histories are spoken aloud and where boundaries between interior and exterior life briefly soften. In this setting, the drawings consider what it means to enter another person’s emotional terrain, and what remains after those moments of closeness pass.

About:
Round two of a quarterly residency with Chicago artist and performer D. Jean Baptiste.
This spring, D. Jean-Baptiste brings together three pairs of artists.
Glen Bias -– The pairing of Bone Study and Lavotsky of Rent Control Records, among other endeavors,
Allen Moore and Nick Meryhew -– longstanding fervent and frequent collaborators within Chicago’s experimental scene, and
Dragonfruit -– Shravan Raghuram and Jean-Baptiste themself.
Each duo is made up of two incredibly talented, versatile, thoughtful, obsessive musicians. The performers within these pairs have created rats nests of their practices, collecting frequencies, drolleries, and histories, pouring it restlessly back into their various communities with earnest excitement.
This show deals with the ability to trust another human being with your life, your art, and your time.
Jean-Baptiste will curate two more shows during spring, summer, and fall of 2026, collaborating with a large cohort of creatives from across the city to turn the Catacombs into an immersive, multimedia exploration of science, emotion, and human behavior.

About:
Ellie Rui 瑞 is a Chicago-based Jazz drummer from Columbus, Ohio. She moved to Chicago shortly after graduating from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in the Spring of 2024. At Oberlin, Rui 瑞 studied with NEA Jazz Master Billy Hart for all 4 years.
Ellie Rui 瑞 is releasing her debut album, DayDreams Are Encouraged, the spring on May 19th. Rui 瑞 began writing DayDreams Are Encouraged in the summer of 2022 and recorded it here in Chicago in June 2025. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Klara Carrera, with cover art by Francesca Neibel-Spruill. In addition to Rui 瑞, it features musicians Chemutai Ruto, Takeru Satoh, J Renee, Anokyewaa Oppong, Rahsaan Nance, Aidan Marco, Francesca Neibel-Spruill, and Will Feeney. The album attempts to convey Rui 瑞’s experiences growing up with ADHD and OCD in a neurotypical world. It is a celebration of different ways of thinking. Rui 瑞’s compositions are typically characterized by a percussive approach, even when she is writing for other instruments. She generally follows a “jazz form” but her chord changes and rhythms are intentionally non-standard. For example, on the album’s first track, “DayDreamer,” Rui 瑞 utilizes different time signatures and feels to illustrate the multidirectional pull of ADHD—the constant diversion but also the thrill of new ideas. In the 6th track, “For This Moment”, Rui 瑞 conveys her experience with OCD, especially the push and pull of her mind and the struggle to stay present in the moment. The piece begins with a melodic motif that, as each instrument enters, gets offset by a half note. This creates a layered “sound collage” meant to approximate the disruptions caused by intrusive thought patterns. The album utilizes many different musical, lyrical, and compositional techniques, all in the service of conveying the feelings of a young person who doesn’t think in a standard way but who nonetheless manages to turn out OK.
Notable recent performances and projects by Rui 瑞 include recording with Pulitzer Prize winner Susie Ibarra, as a member of Ibarra’s CHAN Percussion Ensemble; playing with Colin Heshmat and Emma Dayhuff at Merriman’s Playhouse in South Bend, IN; playing with her own group “The Ellie Rui 瑞 Ensemble” at venues such as The Epiphany Center For the Arts, The Whistler, Clara, and Prairie Moon; playing with Chicago-based artist Elysia Marie as a member of her band; playing music at Holy Ground Sessions at Healthy Hood Chicago; playing with the Karli Bunn Ensemble in Birch Creek, WI; and doing a feature set with “The Ellie Rui 瑞 Ensemble” for Millie Ahearn’s Jam Session at Clara. In her performances, she often shares parts of her life story in the hope of bringing people together. Rui 瑞 likes to be around musicians and other people that remind her of the kind of human being she wants to be.

Event Details
Attend the closing reception for First Annual Chicago and Vicinity Riso Exhibition by Spudnik Press on Saturday, July 4th, from 2:00-5:00pm.
The Chicago and Vicinity Riso Biennial is a regional exhibition celebrating risograph printing as it is being made right now across the Midwest. The show brings together artists from Chicago and Illinois along with the surrounding states — Iowa, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Indiana — working in a medium defined by experimentation, accessibility, and the particular beauty of ink on paper.
Risograph printing occupies a unique space — rooted in zine culture and independent publishing, but increasingly embraced by artists pushing at the edges of what the process can do. Its layered spot colors, soy-based inks, and analog unpredictability make it a medium that rewards curiosity and collaboration.
This biennial is both a survey and a celebration, and a cheeky nod to the Art Institute of Chicago's now defunct Chicago and Vicinity exhibition. This show is a chance to bring Midwest riso work into conversation with itself and honor a tradition of showing regional art, grounded in the independent, artist-driven print culture of the Midwest.
This exhibition is a part of a summer of midwest riso exhibitions organized by Spudnik Press. A sister exhibition, 1st Annual Chicago and Vicinity Riso Exhibition, is curated by Duncan MacKenzie, Ryan Peter Miller, and Christopher Sperandio. will be taking place at Spudnik Press: 1821 W Hubbard St, #302, Chicago, IL 60622 from June 26-August 14, 2026 ( opening June 26, 6-8pm)

Event Details
Attend the closing reception for The Desert as Mirror by Sarah and Joseph Belknap on Saturday, July 4th, from 2:00-5:00pm.
How Close Can You Get to a Stranger is an ongoing, evolving photographic series featuring a selection of images from a larger body of more than 2,000 photographs taken by Piper between 2018 and 2024 across Paris, Étretat, Bordeaux, Arcachon, and Biarritz.
How Close Can You Get to a Stranger is a continuous exploration of Piper’s recurring subject of choice - the stranger. To him, this proximity to the subject is an extension of his fascination with scales of intimacy. Arranged along a progressing gradient of proximity, far away landscapes sequentially become detailed portraits. Piper invites the viewer to perceive themselves through the eyes of a stranger, as if meeting for the first time - suspending the moment of first recognition as a practice of releasing judgements and an affirmation of an eternal gaze.
“To my subjects, you were once a passerby in my life, yet now I look at you, so intently”

We went to the desert for the eclipse. If we squinted, we could pretend we were on Mars.
We hadn’t been out of the city for a while and saw the biggest sky - it made us feel so incredibly tiny. We slept outside and ate outside and hiked outside. We tried to look at every rock we passed. Everything was red and brown and felt so warm.
We brought our medium format film camera and photographed the landscape, something we both remember doing but hadn’t done together. The last time one of us intentionally shot the landscape was more than twenty years ago.
When we developed the film back at home, we could squint and pretend we had been to Mars.

Event Details
Attend the closing reception for After the Flood by Alex Stark on Saturday, July 4th, from 2:00-5:00pm.
After the Flood is a collection of works made both before and after a flood in the artist’s studio. Stark began making a new body of collages in which he began covering parts of his previous salvaged paintings. Collaging on Stark's former damaged works becomes an act of revival, highlighting the resilience and ability of the body to adapt. The figures are ornamented and adorned in a way that is expressive of the relationship to these divine forms. The collaged imagery is photographic, combining and recontextualizing images of food, animals, architecture and nature into Stark’s own narrative, based around the body. These unconventional figures in crowded scenes form a sensory relationship with the viewer.
As a disabled queer artist, Stark’s work contemplates his own body and the manifestation and idea of belonging in a place. Physicality is central to his work through play with different materials that integrate drawing, painting and collage with an emphasis on visible mark-making. A language and narrative is developed around figures’ natural and vulnerable state of nudity and their expressive poses that often relate to the spaces they occupy.

Event Details
Attend the opening reception for Trespasses by Angelo Dolojan on Saturday, July 4th, from 2:00-5:00pm.
Trespasses is a series of graphite drawings concerned with proximity and how bodies, histories, and interior lives intersect. The works examine moments when boundaries blur and strangers cross into one another’s emotional terrain.
The title suggests both entry and overreach. To trespass is to cross a threshold without certainty of permission. It is also to risk closeness. The drawings dwell in this unstable space: between invitation and intrusion, tenderness and exposure, connection and aftermath.
Rendered from memory, the images resist documentation. They are partial reconstructions; scenes filtered through time, shaped as much by distance as by recall. Memory becomes the primary material: unstable, selective, and charged. What remains visible is not chronology but atmosphere and the feeling of having briefly occupied a shared interior and then stepped away.
Installed within Epiphany Center for the Arts, a space that once functioned as a church, the exhibition quietly acknowledges the building’s earlier life. Religious spaces have long been places where private histories are spoken aloud and where boundaries between interior and exterior life briefly soften. In this setting, the drawings consider what it means to enter another person’s emotional terrain, and what remains after those moments of closeness pass.

About:
"Sixty-Five 14" is an artistic movement piece that works to articulate the complex intertwining of time and identity, reflecting on the past, sharing the present, and being open to the possibilities of the future. It is an in-process performance of human struggle, celebration, and discovery. Caitlin and Najah work together to research psychological patterns that form between humans and our social settings. Utilizing vocabularies from both club and contemporary dance forms, “Sixty-Five 14” intentionally holds space to encourage safety, socialization, and camaraderie among viewers. It is curated to reflect and embrace the ever-changing nature of society and personality.
Najah Iman (she/they) and Caitlin Wonsowski (they/she) are a Chicago-based artistic duo. Their partnership began through their shared passion for improvisation, psychological research, and collaboration while pursuing their undergraduate degrees from Columbia College Chicago. They began creating “Sixty-Five 14” in the summer of 2024. Since its original showing at the 21c Museum Hotel in September of 2024, their work has been selected to be presented in several midwest festivals, such as RADFest, Emergence Festival, and Outlaw of the Arts, and they have been guest performers at NEIU. Their choreography develops from social dance culture in Chicago, and investigative improvisation with an emphasis on always remaining in process and finding comfort in adaptation. Their artistic goal is to challenge people to be critical of the social customs and ideologies we reinforce with systemic societal participation.
About Caitlin Wonsowski:
Caitlin Wonsowski (they/she) is a Chicago-based emerging dance maker and performer. Since achieving their Bachelor of Arts in Dance from Columbia College Chicago in 2024, they have been working as a freelance artist, doing improvisational performances, and working under choreographers such as Phillip Wood, kt williams, and Julia Antonick and Jonathan Meyer. They were selected to perform in pieces by Hanna DiLorenzo and Shota Miyoshi in New Dances 2025, and in The Seldoms performance of Superbloom POP! at the Chicago Botanical Gardens. Their choreography focuses on research based in psychology, movement, and sociology and their creative process emphasizes research, collaboration, and being in-process to facilitate space for expansion in pluralism and empathy.
