Event Description

You've heard about it, and it's here! Join us at the opening & artists' reception for *We Burn: Chicago Burning Man Art* on October 16 from 8pm - midnight. This is officially a Chicago Artists Month program, so come out and show Chicago how we do things. Morning Glory Gallery in Pilsen is going to be packed to the gills with burners & our beautiful art. Don't iss it! Please see the details below.

Come explore, play, learn, smile, and take home a little Burning Man! We Burn: Chicago Burning Man Art is a multimedia exploration of the impact the Burning Man festival has on Chicago artist-participants. Through photography, video, works on paper, paintings, mixed media, installations, and performance art, the community will get a feel for what it means to define oneself as a "burner," and how the Burning Man principles of radical inclusion, self-expression, civic responsibility, leave no (environmental) trace, radical self-reliance, and active participation are carried over into
art works and daily life in Chicago.

The Morning Glory Galley is located at 571 W. 18th, 1R, Chicago, IL 60616

The opening will be held Saturday, October 16 from 8pm - midnight, and features an artists' reception, live music & video, performance art, and other spontaneous creative fun. A $10 suggested donation at the door goes towards helping the Bold Urban Renaissance Network fund art and community

Thanks for posting this here! We've got a TON of artwork -- come out and listen to some good music, have a glass of wine, buy some art, and see some friends. It's gonna be an art show in only the way burners can do it.
