Interactive Virtual Gala
Saturday, November 21
7:00 - 8:00 PM
With interactive artist interventions to explore before and after
Join us in celebrating and supporting Hyde Park Art Center! The 2020 Interactive Virtual Gala will energize the community, share artists’ stories, and raise vital funds to deepen the impact of the Art Center’s programs for Chicago art and artists, while keeping financial barriers low long after 2020. Be inspired by amazing stories from the Art Center’s community during the main program at 7PM. Stop by in the afternoon for family friendly art activities, and throughout the evening to engage with artists through interactive projects, conversations, performances, and behind-the-scenes demonstrations of their work. And browse the art auction for something unique to take home. There’s something fun for everyone!
