About Jade Maze:

Jade Maze mixes soul, jazz, and pop into one big heart-filled voice. From the first note, you know she is singing about lived experiences. Whether sharing a H.E.R. cover, a jazz standard, or an original song, her delivery is profound and unique. She started out with soul and jazz bands on the West Coast, toured with her original band on the East Coast, and made Chicago her home in the mid-90s, where she split duties between her own band and singing with jazz/blues/contemporary ensembles. She loves the intimacy of duo work as well, especially with guitar, bass, or piano.

Jade also happens to be an award-winning author. Her debut memoir, Walk Until Sunrise, took a first-place world literary prize (Rome), and the follow-up memoir entitled Mercy’s View: Blackout won a 2025 Best Book Pinnacle Achievement Award. The memoirs chronicle her teenage runaway experience, her reentry into society, and her singing career. To offset the intensity of that work, Jade writes short stories where at least one of the story characters is a singer (Music Notes: Tales from an American Singer). They are hilarious!

So come hear some songs, read a book, have a refreshing beverage, and enjoy!

Jade and Bradley reunite for a night of music that personifies the rich, heartwarming notes of a hot mulled red wine.

About Bradley Williams:

Grammy-nominated pianist/arranger with Woody Herman’s Thundering Herd, creator of The Original 21st Century Review, Musical Director at both The Gold Star Sardine Bar and, currently, Le Piano in Chicago on Saturday nights.

About:

lakefx: 

lakefx is the newborn brainchild of Chicago-based artists Mithra & relativity lounge. A pure homage to dub-rooted music & all its intricacies, the two layer live production elements onto the art of crate-digging to create a lush environment for dancers & enthusiasts alike. From downtempo to techno & beyond, no spaced-out niche is left untouched. 

Inspired by countless excursions on Lake Michigan, Lakefx brings the hypnotic ambiance of flowing water to the dancefloor.

Mentrek:

The Mentrek Project has been brewing since 2022.

What started as a series of modular jam sessions and late night hangouts began to take shape over 2023 and 2024, as they invited more of our friends to spend an evening banging out dance tunes. Over the years it's grown to involve 10 artists, unified under the vision of club-ready, bass- heavy tracks molded by Nuan Sonar and Thysbe.

As they’ve progressed and grew through these collaborations, a system emerged. Hours of recordings of eurorack synthesizers, analog drum machines, and vintage records would then be cut up and arranged. Each track aims to have a solid progression, morphing between techno, dubstep, breaks, and footwork. We refuse to be put in a box, and are constantly experimenting and stealing ideas to refit to our own ideals.

RED40:

Lake Effect’s merry pranksters Swesdo & Rimjickles have joined forces to present a dive into the fantastic. WARNING: RED40’s whimsical, dialed, and gyration inducing grooves may result in: erratic movements, existential crisis, involuntary joy amongst loved ones, and the urge to smoke 4 or 5 CBD darts. You may leave with the urge to worldbuild amongst your groupchat, no matter how many messages it takes to drive your point home. Let's kick off the evening in shplendrick style and soak up the RED40…

Attend the closing reception for Community on the Make  | Arts of Life 2000 – 2025 (part deux) on Saturday, November 22nd, from 5:00-8:00pm.

Following the closing of this exhibition at the Design Museum of Chicago, Epiphany Center for the Arts is happy to present Community on the Make | Arts of Life 2000 - 2025 (part deux)

“Yet once you've come to be part of this particular patch, you'll never love another... But never a lovely so real.” — Nelson Algren, Chicago: City on the Make

Nelson Algren’s raw love letter to Chicago speaks to the soul of a city made of equal parts beauty and struggle, resilience and reinvention. His words resonate deeply with the journey of Arts of Life—an organization born on the margins and grown into a transformative creative force. For 25 years, Arts of Life has built something “so real”: a studio collective where artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities lead with vision, passion, and purpose.

We quote Algren because his Chicago is our Chicago—not polished, but powerful. Not built for easy consumption, but built to last. And like the city he described, our community didn’t wait for permission to exist—we created our own space.

Community on the Make at the Design Museum of Chicago marks another meaningful milestone in claiming our place within the city's vast creative landscape. Design is about intention—about systems, structures, and the ways people move through the world. Our artists are not only makers of art—they are re-makers of culture. Together, they have designed a new model for what inclusive creative communities can be: one shaped by collective decision-making and rooted in our core values:

• INSPIRING Artistic Expression
• BUILDING Community
• PROMOTING Self-Respect
• DEVELOPING Independence

This group exhibition is a celebration of what we’ve accomplished—but also a provocation. It asks us to reconsider: Who is art for? Who gets to shape culture? And how can design become a tool of liberation? Community on the Make highlights artists, staff, and volunteers both past and present who have shaped our community while also allowing the public to contribute and engage in the exhibition. Community on the Make is not just a reflection on where we’ve been. It’s a declaration of where we’re going.

Featured Artists
Ariée, Chris Austin, Renata Berdes, Raina Carter, Guy Conners, Veronica Cuculich, Ted Gram Boarini, Stefan Harhaj, Noel Herrera, Nik Heusman, Marcus Imani Kennedy, David Krueger, Lawrence M, Ben Marcus, Mike Marino, Susan Pasowicz, Hubert Posey, Brian Reed, Alex Scott, Kelly Stone, Tim Stone, Maria Vanik, Chris Viau, Allison Wade, Jean Wilson, Marvin Young, Christina Zion

Arts of Life advances the creative arts community by providing artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities a collective space to expand their practice and strengthen their leadership.

Attend the closing reception for WERIEM’s L’esprit de Pierrot on Saturday, November 22nd, from 5:00-8:00pm.

This series of paintings and drawings explores the enduring spirit of Pierrot—the iconic French character who embodies poetic vulnerability, theatrical grace, and quiet melancholy.

L'esprit de Pierrot (The Spirit of Pierrot) is not a character study—it is an atmosphere. The works evoke fragility, introspection, and the unspoken drama of being. Each piece exists in a suspended moment between stillness and performance, between reality and reverie. Through subtle gesture and deliberate restraint, the artwork creates an emotional atmosphere that transcends literal representation. The compositions become mirrors, inviting viewers to project their own inner theater onto each image.

With this exhibition, WERIEM invites viewers to pause within these contemplative spaces, to feel the weight of unspoken emotion, and to recognize the delicate ways in which beauty, loss, and imagination intertwine in our daily performance of being human.

Attend the closing reception on Saturday, November 22nd, from 5:00-8:00pm.

My 1.5 year old son says only a handful of words- wow, momma, daddy, ball, truck, fraise, ciao. The week I committed to this exhibition at Epiphany, he added a new word: birthday.

Birthday is about how scary it is to begin. The first scream, first smile, first word, first step, first fall. The moment my son was born I was certain I was dying. In the days and months that followed it still wasn’t clear as we existed in a new web of pain, euphoria and wonder. It helps to have something to hug, something to hold you up. A live camera is positioned above the crib and I watch my son sleep.

A birthday is a celebration, a renewal, but also a reckoning. Sometimes counting up feels like counting down, and the beginning is also an ending. The work in this show is holding on and letting go. The subject matter appears familiar, a stuffed animal, a lifejacket, stills from the baby monitor.  Materials in the show include silk, human hair and hair salon foils. Having grown up in a hair salon, these objects and images anchor me to my own childhood, my own history of birthdays and time passing. The week Birthday opens my son will turn 2.

Attend the closing performance for Liz McCarthy’s Imperfect Players on Saturday, November 22nd, from 5:30-6:00pm.

________

Imperfect Players is a collection of ceramic vessels that can be performed as musical instruments and accompanied by drawings.

I worked at an auction house creating condition reports for fine and decorative art. These objects were valuable for their aesthetic, craft, and cultural histories. I often studied ceramic vases closely and under a black light to find the imperfections: cracks, chips, and many networks of hidden repair. They had their own material stories in the flaws of their production and accumulation of wear. These imperfections degraded their value, but also served as evidence of their authenticity. 

I am a similar vessel. My human body has sustained physical and psychological changes and damage, and I hold that with me as I function day to day. Especially after giving birth to my child, I was very aware of dramatic shifts to my mind and body, and I struggled to perform as I once did. Imperfect Players is a response to that corporal rift. These forms are adorned with their own broken and fused pieces, just as I hold onto memories and my material body holds scars and strain of the past. Although broken, these vessels are also instruments that can be played to make musical sounds.
Imperfect Players celebrates imperfect and broken vessels that disrupt the idealized form, and still function as instruments in the world.

RSVP for this event.

About:

Nogu Svelo!, the legendary punk rock band originated in Russia and is now based in the United States. Known for their energetic sound and fearless political stance, the band continues to use music as a force for change, raising awareness about the ongoing war in Ukraine and standing against oppression.

Fresh off the sixth leg of their world tour, which spanned 65 gigs across 64 cities in Europe, Asia, North and South America, Nogu Svelo! has not only brought their music to a global audience but also raised $100,000 for Ukraine through their performances.

A Legacy of Resistance and Musical Innovation

With a career spanning 35 years, Nogu Svelo! has built a cult following since their beginnings in 1988 as part of the famous Moscow Rock Laboratory. The band has released 16 full-length albums, 71 official music videos, and has won multiple awards across Russia and Europe, including MTV Russia’s Best Soundtrack Award.

While Nogu Svelo! originally gained recognition in Russia, the band is now fully based in the U.S., delivering English-language versions of their biggest hits alongside brand-new material recorded with their American lineup.

Frontman Max Pokrovskiy—the band’s lead singer, bassist, and principal songwriter—has been an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin’s regime for years. Due to his support for Alexei Navalny and his unwavering anti-war stance, he has been banned from performing in Russia. Since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Pokrovskiy has released ten powerful anti-war anthems (“We Don’t Need War,” “Russia, Go Home!”, “Ukraine”...) were included in the album “Amputation”.

Art as Activism: Global Recognition for Nogu Svelo!

Beyond their musical success, Nogu Svelo! has been recognized for their politically charged music videos, which have won multiple international awards. Their recent works, “Prison Romance” and “Happy New Year, My Son,” have been celebrated at film festivals such as:

● DOC LA: Los Angeles Documentary Film Festival

● Los Angeles Cinematography Awards (LACA)

● Cinema World Fest Awards

● New York State International Film Festival

Music with a Mission: Humanitarian Efforts

In addition to their musical activism, Nogu Svelo! has actively fundraised for Ukraine through various efforts, including:

● Raising funds for World Unite for Ukraine via an online concert.

● Supporting a refugee shelter in Tbilisi, Georgia.

● Participating in the GCI Planet Charity Event: Peace, Music, and Art Soiree.

● Raising funds for two ambulances for Ukraine during their European tour via the charity Zeilen van Vrijheid.

● Contributing to the purchase of a mobile hospital for Ukraine through a charity talk show in Cyprus.

● Supporting a children’s hospice in Ukraine during a performance in Amsterdam.

In August 2023, Nogu Svelo! performed at the first independent anti-war film festival, AWIIFF, playing a powerful open-air concert for over 1,000 people in Estonia.

A Call to Action Through Music

Nogu Svelo! continues to stand against war, censorship, and tyranny, using their music as a rallying cry for freedom. As the world watches the ongoing conflict, the band remains dedicated to spreading their message of resistance and unity through the most powerful medium they know—music.

About:

The Bad Sneakers Orchestra is a tribute band formed in 2010 by Chicago bassist Paul Martin with an ambitious mission statement: to faithfully recreate the music of Steely Dan live, as represented on their classic albums. This goal necessitated a very large 14-piece ensemble, so that multiple keys and guitar parts, intricate vocal harmonies, and rich horn textures could be realized. After 10+ years of performances (with time off for Covid) the band is at its’ peak, offering the signature Fagen/Becker compositions with a casual aplomb and precision. (They make it look easy. It’s not.) And despite the fastidious attention paid to the recorded material, the members inevitably bring their individual voiceprints to bear within the framework of a cover tune.

A number of Chicago legends have guest starred with the Sneakers over the years, including fusion guitarists Ernie Denov, Chris Siebold, and Mike Pinto, vocalists Mike Harvey (who appeared on 2 Steely Dan albums and a Donald Fagen solo album), Cheryl Wilson (Peabo Bryson, Bertie Higgins), gospel sensation Tina Crawley, and saxophonist Steve Eisen. The charter members are top-drawer Chicago musicians, with decades of experience performing with some of the greatest names in the music industry. The current roster of regular members reads as follows:

Stevie Robinson Lead vocalist

Neal Alger Guitars

Mike Pinto Guitars

Kent Wehman Keys

Carter Luke Keys

Paul Martin Bass, Musical Director
