Art Exhibition:  Critical Mass
October 6 through November 11, 2010
Mayslake Peabody Estate, 1717 W. 31st Street, Oak Brook, IL 60523

Critical mass:  A threshold value of the number of people needed to trigger a phenomenon through the exchange of ideas.

The artists of Little City’s Center for the Arts are first and foremost artists. Though they also happen to be people with disabilities, they are not defined by their disabilities; and neither is their art.

The “Critical Mass” exhibit features the art of Harold Jeffries, John King, Mike Lyon, Wayne Mazurek, Tarik Echols, Luke Tauber, Jeff Burke and others.

Critical Mass will be changing society’s view of the disabled one person at a time.

Viewing hours: Weekdays 9 a.m. - 3p.m. | Saturdays 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Pushing Up Pixels
October 26, 2010
Mayslake Peabody Estate, 1717 W. 31st Street, Oak Brook, IL 60523

A one-night event supporting the exhibition Critical Mass, Pushing Up Pixels will combine the screening of short films, videos and a slide show of computer generated images created by the artists from the Center for the Arts.  There will also be a panel discussion to throw some light on how they were created.

Time:  7:30 to 9:00 p.m.
