If you’ve stopped in at the Art Center in recent weeks then you’ve probably checked out our current show in Gallery 1 and 2, Consuming War. It’s a fantastic look at the ways that Americans consume war in its many forms, and how our culture is innately linked to war. With a full slate of programs and talks, the show provides ample opportunity for feedback and discussion. One component of the show you might also catch are bus and train ads now on the CTA by Adam Brooks. The pieces in Gallery 2 are making their way throughout the city. Take a look next time you’re on mass transit and maybe you’ll see a piece of the Art Center outside of the building!
