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: 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
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.

About:
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.
This special performance highlights the breadth of Jobim’s catalog, from beloved classics
including “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Wave,” and “Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)”
to deeper cuts like “Waters of March,” “O Grande Amor,” and “Para Machucar Meu
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

If you appreciate smooth R&B, heartfelt vocals, and the energy of live music, this is a show you won’t want to miss.
Born and raised on Chicago’s West Side, Deonte Baker has been singing since the age of seven. He received professional training from the Chicago West Community Music Center and Columbia College Chicago, building a strong foundation for a remarkable career.
Deonte began performing professionally at just 12 years old, appearing around the world with gospel choirs, stage productions, and live performances. His journey includes local competitions, weddings, private events, a feature on Windy City Live, and a memorable run on American Idol in 2018, where he reached the solo rounds in Hollywood and appeared in three episodes on ABC.
Now a full-time professional singer in Chicago, Deonte released his debut album in October 2024. His experience includes working with Grammy Award winner Karen Clark Sheard, Chance the Rapper, and touring with Grammy-nominated artist Miki Howard. Through every performance, Deonte’s mission remains the same: to share joy, inspiration, and authentic soul through music.

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:
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.
This special performance highlights the breadth of Jobim’s catalog, from beloved classics
including “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Wave,” and “Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)”
to deeper cuts like “Waters of March,” “O Grande Amor,” and “Para Machucar Meu
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

Experience an unforgettable night of soulful R&B with Chicago’s own Deonte Baker, live in concert at the Sanctuary. This special evening also features rising Chicago artists Jovan Sings and Markice Hudson, coming together for a powerful live performance.
If you appreciate smooth R&B, heartfelt vocals, and the energy of live music, this is a show you won’t want to miss.
Born and raised on Chicago’s West Side, Deonte Baker has been singing since the age of seven. He received professional training from the Chicago West Community Music Center and Columbia College Chicago, building a strong foundation for a remarkable career.
Deonte began performing professionally at just 12 years old, appearing around the world with gospel choirs, stage productions, and live performances. His journey includes local competitions, weddings, private events, a feature on Windy City Live, and a memorable run on American Idol in 2018, where he reached the solo rounds in Hollywood and appeared in three episodes on ABC.
Now a full-time professional singer in Chicago, Deonte released his debut album in October 2024. His experience includes working with Grammy Award winner Karen Clark Sheard, Chance the Rapper, and touring with Grammy-nominated artist Miki Howard. Through every performance, Deonte’s mission remains the same: to share joy, inspiration, and authentic soul through music.

About:
Fresh off his sold out European and North American tour, Justin Nozuka is riding the momentum from his 5th studio album, “Daydreams & Endless Nights”. Born in New York City and raised in Toronto among a family of musicians, Justin reached global success with the RIAA gold certified albums “Holly” and “You I Wind Land and Sea”, the latter debuting at #1 on the Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart. JUNO nominations for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Best Alternative Album followed, along with world tours, performances including the Glastonbury and Fuji Rock Festivals, and TV programs like The Late Show with David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel Live! which sparked a dedication to touring he maintains to this day. Justin’s musical style has organically evolved from his acoustic, folk-infused roots to a spellbinding brand of alternative R&B as seen in his most recent releases. This unique musical diversity is resonating with his devoted fanbase and new listeners alike, setting the stage for an exciting new era of music.
Meet and hang with Justin for the evening and enjoy 2 completely unplugged acoustic sets.
