SUMMARY:South Side + Friends chef series with Dominique Leach
DESCRIPTION:Chicago is\, and always has been\, one of the greatest culinary cities in the world. Yet\, while the North Side often capture the spotlight\, the South Side rarely gets the love it deserves. That’s exactly why nationally acclaimed pitmaster and South Side icon Chef Dominique Leach of Lexington Betty Smokehouse (Food Network’s 2023 BBQ Brawl Champion\, Food Network Canada’s FIRE MASTERS\, Good Morning America’s “Best Barbecue in Chicago”) located in Chicago’s historic Pullman neighborhood\, is launching a bold new culinary collaboration series: the “South Side + Friends” Guest Chef Series\, hosted inside the intimate\, loft-style House of Gaz in Bridgeport. \nThis ongoing series will spotlight the city’s most exciting culinary talents from the South Side (and a few special guests along the way)\, creating more awareness and visibility to showcase how the South Side is a more than worthy destination for food lovers with a platform that champions the community. Each dinner is a chance to experience these chefs in an entirely new way\, featuring one-night-only elevated menus\, coursed out meals\, cocktails parties and more\, all with the incredible hospitality Chef Dominique is known for. The series will be kicking off with James Sanders of Sanders BBQ Supply Co\, Maya-Camille Broussard of Justice of the Pies\, and Kendra Anderson of Caviar Dream Co. \n“For me\, this is about visibility and pride\,” says Chef Dominique Leach. “It can be hard to get people to pay attention to the South Side\, even though it’s where so many culture-shaping chefs are doing the work. There is so much talent and heart here\, and I wanted to create something that brings those voices together in one intimate space. This series is about rallying people to the South Side\, celebrating incredible chefs from this area (plus a few from beyond!)\, and showing that this community isn’t just special\, it’s essential to the city’s story.” \nThe series kicks off with a powerhouse lineup including: \nSaturday\, January 31 — James Sanders of Sanders BBQ Supply Co (Beverly)\nChef James Sanders has created Sanders BBQ Supply Co. as a BBQ destination in the Beverly neighborhood\, which has gaining acclaim from local and national publications\, including a spot on the 2025 New York Times Top 50 Restaurants List and Eater Chicago dubbing them the “new kings of BBQ.” Opened in partnership with Texas BBQ aficionado Pitmaster Nick Kleutsch\, Sanders BBQ Supply Co. has earned praise for its Central Texas-inspired smoked brisket\, ribs\, house-made sausages\, and peach tea wings. \nWednesday\, February 25 — Maya-Camille Broussard of Justice of the Pies (Avalon Park)\nMaya-Camille Broussard is the chef and owner of Justice of the Pies\, an Avalon Park bakery specializing in sweet and savory pies\, quiches\, and tarts\, and operating with a strong social mission centered on fairness\, equality\, and food justice. She starred on Netflix’s Bake Squad\, where she was handpicked by Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi and dubbed the show’s “Flavor Maven\,” and was a finalist for Outstanding Baker at the 2022 James Beard Awards. Since opening her flagship storefront in September 2023\, Justice of the Pies has earned national acclaim\, including Esquire’s 2023 Best New Restaurant honor and Pastry Chef of the Year for Broussard. \nSaturday\, March 28 — Kendra Anderson of Caviar Dream Co. (West Loop)\nA professional chef\, advanced sommelier\, serial entrepreneur\, and overall hospitality maven\, Kendra launched Caviar Dream in 2024 to share her love of this unique delicacy with the world\, and with a specific mission to transform the world of luxury caviar by making it more inclusive and empowering. Caviar Dream is the first Black- and female-owned nationally distributed caviar business in the United States\, providing representation\, access\, and experiences that inspire and encourage communities to indulge to live well.

SUMMARY:Bowie Ball - David Bowie’s 79th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Chicago it is time to experience Bowie Ball\, where we celebrate the legend\, the chameleon\, and the man… David Bowie. \nBowie Ball is being held on Saturday\, Jan 3rd 2026 to celebrate the life and legend of David Bowie on what would have been his 79th Birthday. So get into the spirit with us – glam it up\, dress like a dandy and let’s love the alien with some glitter on top. \nBowie Ball is a glam and drag dance party founded in Chicago by DJ Heaven Malone. Bowie Ball is on Saturday\, January 3rd\, 2026 in Chicago. Bowie Ball 2016 on David Bowie’s Birthday celebrated Bowie’s last studio album “Blackstar” and unfortunately we later learned\, his passing into stardust. Bowie Ball 2015 coincided with the end of “David Bowie Is”\, the multimedia exhibition on one of the most influential and iconic artists of our time – David Bowie. For Bowie Ball 2014\, even David Bowie tweeted and posted about our incredibly extravagant and packed partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art to announce their David Bowie Is exhibition. Bowie Ball 2013 came with the surprise announcement that after 10 years of silence\, a brand new album titled “The Next Day” was being released.

This event reminds us that pleasure is not a luxury — it’s essential to the wellbeing of Black gay\, bisexual\, and same-gender-loving men in Chicago.

SUMMARY:World AIDS Day commemoration with Wrightwood 659 and the Joffrey Ballet
DESCRIPTION:Wrightwood 659 and The Joffrey Ballet proudly announce a special World AIDS Day commemoration honoring those lost to the epidemic to be held at Wrightwood 659 (659 Wrightwood Avenue) Thursday\, December 4\, at 5:30pm. World AIDS Day\, officially December 1\, is a global movement to unite people in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Since 1988\, communities have stood together on World AIDS Day to show strength and solidarity against HIV stigma and to remember lives lost. \nThe Joffrey Ballet was deeply affected during this period\, losing several remarkable artists\, including Company Founder Robert Joffrey at age 59 and his protégé Edward Stierle at just 23. Following Joffrey’s passing\, Stierle choreographed Lacrymosa and\, while on his own deathbed\, completed Empyrean. As noted in a New York Times interview\, Stierle’s dance partner observed\, “Where Lacrymosa was about death\, Empyrean is about celebration and hope.” \nThis public program will feature opening remarks by Greg Cameron\, Joffrey Ballet President & CEO; a screening of Empyrean and discussion; and a memorial segment inviting attendees to share reflections and memories of those lost to AIDS.  Tickets for this special program are complimentary with paid admission to Wrightwood 659. \nWrightwood 659 is currently mounting The Joffrey + Ballet in the U.S.\, a large-scale exhibition celebrating the rich history of The Joffrey Ballet. The exhibition premiered at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center in 2024\, marking the first major retrospective of the company. Drawing from the Joffrey archive\, acquired by the Jerome Robbins Dance Division in 2017 as the Library’s largest acquisition in a decade\, the exhibition offers an in-depth look at the Joffrey’s contributions to ballet in the U.S. Highlights include rare film from the original performance of the groundbreaking ballet Astarte and Anna Sokolow’s Opus 65\, as well as costumes\, props\, pointe shoes\, posters\, correspondence\, and other ephemera from the company and the life of Robert Joffrey. The Joffrey + Ballet in the U.S. is organized by The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and curated by Dr. Julia Foulkes with assistance from Nicole Duffy. It is presented at Wrightwood 659 by Alphawood Exhibitions. \n  \nAlso on view at Wrightwood 659 through December 20\, 2025\, are Scott Burton: Shape Shift\, which examines the legacy of Scott Burton (1939–1989)\, an American original whose wide-ranging practice anticipated many of the strategies of today’s art; and Ellen Altfest: Forever\, an intimate selection of oil paintings by the American representational painter.

SUMMARY:World Aids Day Panel: Raising Our Voices
DESCRIPTION:This World AIDS Day\, join us for a panel discussion featuring Tracy Baim\, Rebecca Makkai\, Victoria Noe & Rosa E. Martínez Colón.\n\n\n\nFunding for direct service and research for HIV has been decimated\, AIDS denialists have a champion leading the Department of Health and Human Services\, and international programs like PEPFAR have been destroyed. How can allies use their voices to convince the general public that these developments don’t only affect people living with HIV\, but everyone? \nThis World AIDS Day\, join us for a panel discussion featuring Tracy Baim\, Rebecca Makkai\, and Victoria Noe and moderated by Rosa E. Martínez Colón. \nTracy Baim is executive director of Press Forward Chicago\, a pooled fund for community journalism based at The Chicago Community Trust. Baim is co-founder and owner of Windy City Times. She is former publisher of the Chicago Reader newspaper. Baim has received Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Chicago Headline Club and the Chicago Journalists Association. In 2014\, she was inducted into the NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists Hall of Fame. She is also in the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame. She has won numerous LGBTQ community and journalism honors\, including the Community Media Workshop’s Studs Terkel Award in 2005 and the Lambda Legal Bon Foster Award in 2023. Baim has written and/or edited 14 books\, her newest is Liberating Healthcare\, a biography of Howard Brown Health. \nRosa E. Martínez Colón is a dedicated public health advocate and a founding member of CALOR\, which supports Latinos affected by HIV in Chicago. She is currently the Vice President of Housing Strategy at the Center for Housing and Health at AIDS Foundation Chicago. With over 30 years of experience\, she has led various local and national initiatives\, including serving on the Chicago Board of Health and co-chairing the Latinx Institute at the U.S. Conference on HIV/AIDS. She earned degrees from DePaul and North Park University. \nRebecca Makkai is the author of five books\, including New York Times bestselling I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU and THE GREAT BELIEVERS\, a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. She is Artistic Director of StoryStudio Chicago. \nDeep into her fourth career\, Victoria Noe is a Chicago-based award-winning author\, speaker and activist with two degrees in theater. Her Friend Grief series – the result of a promise she made to a dying friend – recognizes the importance of friendships in shaping our lives and illuminates an often disrespected form of grief. Noe’s long-time HIV/AIDS activism then led her to write F*g Hags\, Divas and Moms: The Legacy of Straight Women in the AIDS Community\, the groundbreaking book that honors the women who changed the course of the epidemic. Her 2023 book\, What Our Friends Left Behind: Grief and Laughter in a Pandemic\, shares the challenges faced by people who grieved a friend during COVID. With Unstoppable: Straight Women on the AIDS Frontlines\, Noe shares more stories of women in the HIV/AIDS community\, and how they’re responding to the shock and awe of 2025.
