Group Show: This Saturday!

The Vega Caucus
at Vega Estates

Please join us Saturday, May 17th for our first show of the season, The Vega Caucus, curated by Vega Estates organizers Roxane Hopper and Julie Rudder. The Vega Caucus responds to submissions from Chicago area artists by recontextualizing the works using story and external elements and also as a framework for social space. The space becomes a facilitator of conversation between interested parties, possibly erupting into a "raucous caucus".

with artworks from:
Lauren Anderson, Curt Bozif, Michael Corra, Chelsea Culp, Ryan Hays, Matthew Hilshorst, Matt Irie, Kirsten Leenaars, Michael Lehman, Caleb Lyons, Lisa Majer, Tim Mazurek, Jessie Mott, Rudy Montez, Cole Pierce, Katie Scanlan, Ryan Scheidt, LeRoy Stevens, Michael Thibault, Vanesa Zendejas.

May 17th 7pm-10pm
Featuring Rocky Road ice cream and guest flavor, Lime Sherbert by Tim Mazurek.
