SAIC @ DWG @ David Weinberg Gallery

Works by Recent Graduates in the Gallery

Recommended by Ginny Berg

David Weinberg Gallery is bringing the school to the gallery for its latest exhibition, SAIC at DWG. The show features work by recent graduates of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  Showing work by SAIC grads in Chicago galleries isn’t unusual at all, and SAIC’s own galleries, Sullivan, and Betty Rymer, also are always packed for the regular MFA and BFA exhibitions.  But having a show featuring just SAIC grads in a commercial gallery is a new context. This must be exciting for the recent grads, and I give a big high-five to the gallery for being so supportive.

Insider Info: All four featured artists were born between 1978-1980, so it’s a young crowd, but these artists didn’t graduate yesterday (born in 1980 myself, it’s a little weird to admit that!) The artists share a lot of other things in common, but they each work in a variety of mediums. Noelle Allen teaches sculpture at Dominican University. Helen Maurene Cooper teaches at Roosevelt University. And Noelle Allen and Amy Mayfield were each chosen for individual 12x12 exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA.)  The opening reception on February 26, 5-8pm, will be packed, as SAIC grads know how to bring the crowds!
