The Perfect Plate @ Lillstreet

New Exhibition Challenges the Notion of Perfection AUGUST 17 - SEPTEMBER 14  Join us for the 5th Annual Lillstreet International, a juried exhibition open to artist submissions from across North America. For this year’s theme, juror Sandy Simon searched far and wide for “the perfect plate,” choosing 43 works by 32 artists including: Michael Ashley, Noel Bailey, Mariana Baquero, Amanda Barr, Clinton Berry, Elise Delfield, Nick DeVries, Mike Gesiakowski, Jon Glabus, Mel Griffin, Sangeet Gupta, Todd Hayes, Anna Calluori Holcombe, Tom Jaszczak, Jay Jensen, Jake Johnson, Kristen Kieffer, Lucien Koonce, Justin Lambert, Melissa Lee, Missy McCormick, Megan Mitchell, CJ Niehaus, Bob Pool, Justin Rothshank, Jan Schachter, Aaron Sober, Kyla Strid, Marjorie Wade, Derek Walter, Ai Yamamoto, and Adam Yungbluth. If you can't make it in to see the show, pick your perfect plate online and contact the Gallery Director to purchase. We also encourage you to do some creative daydreaming by desiging your own "Perfect-Plate-Inspired" table setting on Pinterest. It's fun and it's easy!  FRIDAY, AUGUST 17 5:30pm: Juror talk by Sandy Simon 6 - 8pm: Artist reception and awards presentation. RSVP on Facebook Gallery Hours: Monday - Thursday, 10am to 7:30pm; Friday - Saturday, 10am to 6pm, and Sunday, 10am to 5pm Lillstreet Art Center 4401 N Ravenswood Chicago, Illinois 60640
