SUMMARY:6311arts Presents May Exhibition\, Bringing Together Established Chicago Artists\, Emerging Student Voices\, and Inclusive Community Programming
DESCRIPTION:CHICAGO — This spring\, Edgewater community center 6311arts will present its May Exhibition\, a multi-faceted showcase running May 16 through July 4\, 2026\, with an opening reception on Saturday\, May 16 from 6–9 p.m. \nDesigned as both an exhibition and a gathering point for multiple strands of Chicago’s creative community\, the May Exhibition brings together work by established local artists\, emerging student makers\, and artists working within inclusive educational settings. \nQueue — Brad Gibbs\nThe center’s main gallery will feature Queue\, a presentation of works by Chicago artist Brad Gibbs\, whose mixed-media paintings combine abstraction\, layered texture\, and vivid figurative suggestion. \nArt on the Edge — Austin Special Chicago\nAlso featured is Art on the Edge\, a group presentation from Austin Special Chicago\, a program serving adults with developmental disabilities through arts-centered enrichment and community engagement. Five artists from the program\, working under the guidance of educator Edwige Massart\, will present work that underscores 6311arts’ commitment to accessibility\, expression\, and broad participation in the arts. \nAmerican Surrealism — DePaul Artist Coalition\nContinuing 6311arts’ investment in nurturing emerging local talent\, American Surrealism will present an end-of-year showcase by fifteen artists from the newly formed DePaul Artist Coalition\, a student-run organization dedicated to building community and visibility for young artists at a pivotal stage in their creative development. \nEntrance Installation — Piloto\nAnchoring the exhibition at the center’s entrance will be a life-size sculpture by Piloto\, whose sculptural practice merges mythic imagery\, found materials\, and social consciousness.

SUMMARY:Chicago Repertory Ballet's Spring Series
DESCRIPTION:MAY 29 – 31 | RUTH PAGE CENTER FOR THE ARTS\nREPERTORY INCLUDES:\nTHE RITE OF SPRING – WADE SCHAAF\nWORLD PREMIERE – YANIS ERIC PIKIERIS\nWORLD PREMIERE – WADE SCHAAF\nJoin Chicago Repertory Ballet for an exhilarating Spring Series that celebrates repertory\, reinvention\, and bold new voices. Anchoring the our Spring Series is the remounting of Founding Artistic Director Wade Schaaf’s The Rite of Spring\, set to Igor Stravinsky’s watershed score. \nCRB has not performed this ballet since its striking 2021 presentation on Crickett Hill\, and we are thrilled to bring this monumental work to the stage at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts. Drawing inspiration from the Ballets Russes era while infusing it with CRB’s contemporary classical sensibility\, Schaaf’s Rite is visceral\, ritualistic\, and theatrically charged — a work that honors tradition while boldly reinterpreting it for today’s audiences. \nThe program also features a world premiere work by choreographer Yanis Eric Pikieris. Known for his sweeping physicality and intricate musicality\, Pikieris crafts movement that is both architecturally precise and emotionally expansive. His choreography demands virtuosity while revealing the humanity of the dancer — an arresting combination that has quickly distinguished his voice. \nAlso on the program is a world premiere by Founding Artistic Director Wade Schaaf. Schaaf’s work has been described as “musically sophisticated and dramatically immediate\,” blending structural rigor with an unflinching theatrical instinct. This new creation continues their exploration of contemporary classical form\, pushing the company’s artists both technically and expressively. \nDo not miss these exciting works including the Chicago premiere of Miami based choreographer Yanis Eric Pikieris!
