Chase Gallery – Last Look! (Closing 1/13)
Chicago Sculpture International juried member exhibit Elemental Impact takes interest in the parts that make up the whole, and how a single element can impact the world at large. Much like a single choice in material or form can change an entire piece, each of the sculptural works in this collective by 34 artists, change and impact the whole through their proximity.

Guild Room
Louise LeBourgeois & Karen Reimer: Boundless & Disorderly is a two-person exhibition that explores the horizon line of Lake Michigan, through LeBourgeois’s representational painting and Reimer’s naming and poetic language within her large-scale, hand-crafted quilts. Both scrutinize the horizon line, where water meets air, with the awareness that this ethereal edge doesn’t truly exist.
Sacristy Gallery
Elaine Miller: Wanderlust exhibit reflects on Miller’s lifelong desire to travel to the world’s most exotic places, contrasted with her paintings that exquisitely document a hyperlocal midwestern landscape. Her work aims to connect the viewer with the spiritual qualities of nature and our complex relationship with it.
Slemmons Gallery
Karen Gubitz: Materials Matter is a deep examination of the properties of natural materials, where Gubitz extracts their highest possible resiliency, while exploring surface potential, limitlessness, and pliability in her seemingly categorized collection of refined sculptural works.
Catacombs Gallery – Last Look! (Closing 1/13)
Gretchen Jankowski: Amplified Inking is a vast survey of materials exploring collaged prints layered in resin, as well as printmaking on a variety of fabrics, which Jankowski collages, embroiders, and quilts together to create large, voluminous, soft sculptural pieces. While most of the work is large scale, she incorporates delicately detailed elements that invite close inspection of abstract botanical patterns and otherworldly environments.
Yolanda Richards: Music to my Soul
Photography series aims to inform, celebrate, and expose the histories, legacy, and contributions of Chicago soul music. In partnership with Overflow After Dark Productions, the exhibit documents twelve Chicago musicians: six seasoned and with historic roots to Chicago’s Record Row, and six emerging artists who are creating a new era of soul music in the Windy City.
