January 4th - Closing Soon In Chicago!

If you are visiting Chicago this month, don’t miss “Apostles of Beauty: Arts and Crafts from Britain to Chicago,” through January 31 at The Art Institute of Chicago. Through 187 handcrafted, organic works by the movement’s most notable practitioners, Apostles of Beauty traces the movement’s origins in Britain to its blossoming in Chicago’s ripe reform environment. Highlighting a wide range of objects, including ceramics, furniture, metalwork, paintings, photographs, and textiles, the exhibition allows visitors the rare opportunity to see the movement unfold in the city where it reached its full manifestation and where many of its treasures still reside.
