Creative Happenings


One thing I enjoy about living close to a big city (Chicago, IL) is the easy access we have to art events.

This weekend is SOFA Chicago (Sculpture Objects Functional Art).

This is an amazing show that showcases a variety of art from jewelry, ceramics, fiber, sculpture, glass, and fine art, from all over the world.

Here is a blurb from their website:
At SOFA expositions, prominent international galleries and dealers present masterworks bridging the worlds of design, decorative and fine arts, showcasing the rich visual heritage of the decorative arts alongside new, innovative expressions. The works presented bridge historical periods, art movements and cultures, from ethnographica, Asian arts and mid-twentieth century modern to the most cutting-edge contemporary arts and design.

I usually attend this show by myself or with a friend who is into art, but this year my family wants to go. So my daughter, her friends and I, going to take the train to Chicago and meet my husband (who will be coming from work), for an afternoon of art.

This show is very inspiring and I am really looking forward to attending. I will take lots of photo's and share them with you on Monday.

Is their event in your area that inspires you? Please share.
