SUMMARY:Atrium Project: Edie Fake
DESCRIPTION:Runs through March 29\, 2026 \nFor this iteration of the Atrium Project series\, artist\, author\, and activist Edie Fake transforms the two-story lobby wall in the museum’s second floor atrium with his mural The Free Clinic for Gender Affirming Care (2024–25). An imagined facade of a clinic for free transgender healthcare\, the mural offers a majestic counterview to the present reality in the United States\, where transgender and nonbinary people are under constant threat of political repression\, restriction\, and scapegoating. The mural\, with its layered architectural motifs and undulating prismatic colors\, invites visitors into Fake’s utopian vision of access and open expression. \nFollowing his earlier Memory Palace series—examples of which are included in the exhibition City in a Garden: Queer Art and Activism in Chicago\, on view at the MCA from July 5\, 2025\, through May 31\, 2026—wherein Fake reimagined the facades of historic queer and feminist establishments in Chicago\, this work underscores the artist’s shift in focus from the past to the future\, from what was to what could still be. \nAtrium Project: Edie Fake is organized by Jack Schneider\, Assistant Curator.

SUMMARY:Chicago History Museum: Designing for Change: Chicago Protest Art of the 1960s–70s
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit runs through November 2\, 2025 \nChicago activists in the 1960s and ’70s used design to create powerful slogans\, symbols\, and imagery to amplify their visions for social change. In Designing for Change: Chicago Protest Art of the 1960s–70s\, see more than 100 posters\, fliers\, signs\, buttons\, newspapers\, magazines\, and books from the era\, expressing often radical ideas about race\, war\, gender equality\, and sexuality that challenged mainstream culture of the time. \nAs racism\, war\, gender inequality\, and LGBTQIA+ discrimination remain enduring issues shaped by today’s complex world\, also see works from a new generation of artivists upholding the city’s rich legacy of protest art to fight for social change.

SUMMARY:Art for Life Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 16 at The Mart\nArt for Life Chicago is a juried art auction and social art event of the season\, showcasing the talents of emerging artists alongside those of established creators. \nThis event offers a chance to bring together emerging artists with established artists\, art buyers\, and art collectors. Each year\, we select a jury panel of highly accomplished interior designers and gallery owners who bring years of industry expertise and a genuine commitment to supporting the art world. Each artist is scored\, and the top artists are invited to participate in the year’s Art for Life Chicago art auction. \nArtists who choose to donate their pieces will have their work displayed and auctioned both virtually and in person during an enjoyable evening filled with cocktails\, food\, networking\, and excitement. \nArt for Life Chicago not only creates meaningful opportunities for artists\, but with all proceeds from AFLC benefiting our Excellence in Care Grants Program\, it also helps us raise essential unrestricted funds for local organizations providing care for those living with and/or impacted by HIV/AIDS. \nAdditionally\, the top three artists are invited to DIFFA Chicago’s Three for Life event the following autumn. This opportunity includes a one-night-only exhibition for these three rising artists to showcase their artwork at a downtown Chicago gallery. This intimate art show is promoted not only to DIFFA’s cultivated list of art and event lovers but also shared with local art professional establishments to ensure widespread awareness and promotion for the artists and the event.
