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.

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:

Brother Jacob is a proud Chicago native, blues artist, radio host, and cultural preservationist whose performances blend the soul of gospel with the electric grit of Chicago blues. Born and raised on the city’s South Side, he fell in love with the blues as a child listening to WVON-AM’s Pervis Spann “The Blues Man” in the midnight hours. That deep musical foundation sparked a lifelong calling that would evolve into a unique voice on stage, over the airwaves, and in the city’s cultural conversations.

He began his professional journey through the Blues in the Schools program, performing at the Chicago Blues Festival under the mentorship of Deitra Farr. Over the years, Brother Jacob has become a familiar face on the scene, not just as a guest vocalist or sit-in performer, but as a frontman building a body of work with his own band and his own voice.

His music carries a spiritual intensity, rooted in storytelling and tradition, and driven by a mission to connect, uplift, and preserve. Brother Jacob delivers blues with reverence and revival.

About:

the female orgasm gets talked about everywhere and understood almost nowhere. it shows up in movies, magazines, and group chats, but the actual science stays surprisingly murky. so this month we are bringing in an expert, a vulva puppet, and a room full of curious people to finally dig into it. why does the "orgasm gap" exist? what is actually happening in the body and brain? and how much of it is physical versus everything we were never taught?

leading the night is dr. rachel zar, a phd in clinical sexology and aasect-certified sex therapist who has spent years at northwestern medicine's center for sexual medicine helping people understand their own bodies. she brings real research and zero judgment to one of the most asked about and least explained topics out there.

here is how the night runs. dr. zar gives a 45 minute talk, no interruptions, just settle in and listen. then we break into small guided groups for 60 minutes of real conversation about what landed, what surprised you, and what you always wondered but never asked. we close with a dedicated q and a, so hold your questions until the end and bring your best ones.

come curious. leave knowing more than you did walking in.

Free Blues Friday Featuring A Patch of Blues

Date: Friday, July 17th, 2026

Showtime: 8:00PM

Tickets:
FREE ADMISSION | RSVP BELOW

‘Service charges apply to ALL ticket purchases (online and box office)’ - Credit card only at door

About:

A Patch of Blues is an award-winning blues and soul band with members Fati Jones (vocals), Rebecca Egwuenu (lead guitar), Sam Jones (bass), & Stacy Norris (drums). The members have been playing together from a young age and developed a love for the blues, their city's heritage, and playing music together under the mentorship of some of Chicago's great blues men and women. Each member is an accomplished musician and vocalist in her own right and decided to come together to bring a unique sound and urban funky flair to their audiences. The band has performed throughout the Chicagoland area and the Midwest in major festivals including the Chicago Blues festival as well as in Memphis at the International Blues Challenge in 2023 & 2024. Having a majority of female instrumentalists for a Blues band makes A Patch of Blues special. Female vocalists have always been the standard push with blues bands, often brushing aside the spirit, virtuosity, and innovative sounds of women musicians in the genre. In the past, we had Memphis Minnie, Rosetta Sharpe, Beverly "Guitar" Watson, drummers such as Pauline Braddy setting the stage on fire! A Patch of Blues aims to bring that fire back with Rebecca Egwuenu on lead guitar & Stacy Norris on drums alongside its power vocalist Fati Jones! The band received a Chicago Music Award for Most Outstanding Band in 2024 and was nominated twice for an Intercontinental Music Award for instrumental excellence and soulful rendition of the Blues. Sam Jones joined the family in 2024 on bass. As a longtime friend and "Blues brother" for the ladies of the Patch, this was a natural fit for POB. They have performed at Buddy Guy's Legends and Rosa's Lounge, some of their own local favorites. A Patch of Blues strongly believes in the power of music to unite and heal. You can read more about the Patch at apatchofblues.com.

By weaving nostalgic disco samples with underground funk and modern basslines, Viridian creates an inclusive, positive space where the past and future of dance music meet. It’s a balanced sound—approachable to legacy purists and fresh ears alike—that radiates a deep-seated passion for the groove while reminding us exactly why we gather on the dancefloor in the first place. Connection.

Attend the opening reception for The Jade by Laleh Motlagh on Sunday, July 19th, from 2:00-5:00 pm.

The Jade presents recent paintings by Laleh Motlagh, centering on a jade plant brought by her father from her hometown of Tabriz, Iran, in 2012. Over fourteen years of relocation across various Chicago homes and studios, Motlagh has nurtured this plant, developing an intimate, symbiotic bond with it. Since 2022, the jade has transitioned from a personal companion into one of the primary subjects of her visual practice.

Indigenous to South Africa but ubiquitous worldwide, the plant serves as a living metaphor for political displacement and global migration. Motlagh focuses intently on the plant's pot as a site of dual identity: it is both a protective shelter and a rigid constraint. Confined within this human-made structure, the jade adaptation mirrors the endurance of Iranian women navigating systemic restriction and control. Through daily and repetitive observation, The Jade maps the deep intimacy between human and botanical life, offering a quiet meditation on uprooting, survival, and the persistent will to grow within boundaries.

Attend the opening  reception for Dog Kicking in its Sleep by Ethan Shay-Cowell on Sunday, July 19th from 2:00-5:00pm.

Dog Kicking in its Sleep is the first solo exhibition from Chicago based artist Ethan Shay-Cowell. His work combines observation with surrealist invention and symbolism to create dark, dream-like spaces that bridge the physical world with the ever-present allegory unfolding beneath it.

These works created between 2022 and 2026 were inspired by the artist's time spent living and studying in Chicago, as well as the increasing volatility of the global political theatre. The paintings are a response to uncertainty and conflict, both within and outside of the self, searching our stories and symbols for meaning that withstand this volatility. His practice personifies time and space as a parent and teacher in a way that blurs the line between art making and theistic reflection, seeking an intimacy that is only possible through confrontation.

The exhibition aims to create a moment in which the artist's works can together express a portrait of human nature in its juxtaposing elements as to be faithful to its complexity.

About:

Attend the opening  reception for Temple Toys by Max Li on Sunday, July 19th from 2:00-5:00pm.

Temple Toy brings together tintypes, calligraphy, photographs, writings, and sculptural objects developed through Max Li’s ongoing relationship with Chicago, sacred space, memory, and everyday life. Moving between improvisation and ritual, the exhibition treats objects as emotional devices, small monuments, jokes, relics, and temporary sites of attention. Ancient forms, toy-like materials, devotional gestures, and contemporary fragments coexist within a playful and open-ended landscape where sacredness appears not as certainty, but as a shifting human condition.

Attend the opening  reception for Medley by LATITUDE on Sunday, July 19th from 2:00-5:00pm.

The following work on these walls is tied together by its construction rather than its completed form. What joins the work is not a shared theme in representation and style but a means of making, composed of statements that potentially have nothing in common at all - which is exactly the space LATITUDE was made to support.

This exhibition is a net cast into the vast field of individuals that together make up LATITUDE Chicago’s diverse community - some who do it themselves, some who have the team do it for them, some who have donated their time, and some who have donated their resources and connections. Artists that work in painting, photography, collage, analog or digital process .. artists whose practices are built on personal joy or political justice.

Regardless of the “why”, this collection is born from a mission that holds the door open and welcomes a type of multiplicity that can be difficult to access otherwise. A thread spun from the shared belief that access and education around photographic “Fine Art” production should come without barriers.

curated by Keanna Boyko, Deputy Director of LATITUDE Chicago

Attend the opening  reception for Means of Production  by LMRM on Sunday, July 19th from 2:00-5:00pm.

How should wealth be distributed, power structured, and labor organized when the focus is the shared experience of creating and consuming art?

If we could deepen our own practices as a consequence of supporting another’s would that change how we approach collaboration?

We can confront scarcity through generosity along novel dimensions: a loom is dressed and experimentation follows, a floating canvas with its incremental and iterative decorations across individuals form a chain; trust is essential for the call and response necessary for a community to thrive.

Fibers under tension, knowledge honed and shared, yield something coherent eventually.

Hey folks, I submitted a new title and exhibition statement last night. I hope that the email-body-as-wall-text doesn't come across as (overly) facetious or oblique (it is meant to be a little bit facetious, of course (maybe funny?)). I found it very difficult to not treat a text which will be physically present in the space of the exhibition with the work as being diegetic/metafictional, so I reformulated the show concept a bit to accommodate the idea of having such a text in the space, and I think it could possibly even work well (the paintings/work I'm including could all be construed as taking on a certain self-congratulatory-ness or self-indulgence/post-MFA-ness explicitly as subject matter (I wouldn't say that the work is autobiographical, maybe tailored-autobiographical, or maybe rather that its subject matter is "autobiography" (but we could be splitting hairs here), or else “the conditions of production”, or else that: "Freedom is the obligation to freedom, since the rejection of freedom is an exercising of freedom."). Let me know if it is in fact too oblique/facetious, and I could try to find a way to squeeze a bit more exegeticity in there by later today, or else we could probably supplement/replace it with this email-body instead.

Thanks and sorry for being slow and a pain!

About Jade Maze:

Jade Maze mixes soul, jazz, blues, and pop into one big heartfelt voice. 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 foraged her way onto the blues and jazz scenes. 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 the beginning stages of 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!

About Chris Mahieu:

Chris Mahieu’s interests led him to jazz and many other styles of piano after receiving his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in classical piano at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is an in-demand pianist and has played all the major jazz venues in town (Showcase, Green Mill, Andy’s, and House of Blues) as well as Symphony Center and the Chicago Jazz Fest. He is a quiet killer on the keys completely dedicated to the art of music.

Keyon Harrold is a GRAMMY® nominated trumpeter, vocalist, composer, and producer whose music defies boundaries. A genre-fluid innovator, he blends jazz, hip-hop, R&B, blues, and cinematic soul into a signature sound that is both raw and refined—emotional and electrifying. With a career anchored in versatility and excellence, Harrold has emerged as one of the most compelling voices in modern music.

As a platinum-selling producer and first-call collaborator, he has worked with legends and luminaries across genres—from Jay-Z, Common, and Nas to Maxwell, Black Pumas, Mac Miller, Keith Richards, YEBBA, Robert Glasper, Sam Henshaw and Destin Conrad. He also co-wrote the theme song for “The Queen Latifah Show.” In 2025, Harrold performed at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony honoring Outkast, Salt-N-Pepa and more!

Whether performing on global stages or composing for film and television, Harrold pours his soul into every note. “The only thing that defines a genre is its beat,” he says, a belief that fuels his fearless exploration of music’s emotional and cultural possibilities. His live shows—raw yet virtuosic, intimate yet expansive—have captivated audiences worldwide, including at the Love Supreme Festival, where critics praised his performance as “commanding” and “seeking new challenges.”

Beyond the stage, Harrold is a dedicated artistic advisor for Jazz St. Louis and the MATI (Music at the Intersection) Festival in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. A passionate advocate for social justice and equity, he uses his platform to inspire change and empower the next generation.
