SUMMARY:Chicago Queer History Walking Tours: Police\, Gangsters\, and Gay Bars
DESCRIPTION:The University of Chicago sociologist Ernest Burgess observed that the city contains “zones of transition” that sat between areas of the city with clearly defined purposes and which people often used for activities which society frown upon. These areas were often the places that fomented queer culture in the industrial city – but that required an interaction between queerness and other criminal behavior. Learn about the interaction between queerness\, the state’s monopoly on legitimate violence\, and organized crime as we investigate the delicate negotiations and compromises required to keep queer institutions open in the city in the 20th century. \nThe University of Illinois Chicago Gender and Sexuality Center presents a series of Chicago Queer History Walking Tours for Summer 2026. Tours are conducted by Daniel Williams\, a political science professor who’s been bringing the details of Chicago’s queer past to life on social media. \nFollow him on Instagram @Daniel.Edward.Williams\nAll walking tours are free\, with tips gratefully accepted\, but not expected.

SUMMARY:Rooted in Place: Indigenous Stories and the Craft of Brewing
DESCRIPTION:Founded as the nation’s first Native American woman-owned craft brewery\, Bow & Arrow Brewing Co. is redefining what beer can represent – connecting contemporary brewing to Indigenous ingredients\, ancestral foodways\, and relationships to land.\nEvery beer begins with the land and the stories tied to it. This one-night conversation brings together leading voices in brewing and Indigenous studies to explore how ingredients\, place\, and heritage shape more than just what’s in your glass. At the center is a powerful question: how do relationships to land and history influence the way beer is made—and who gets to tell those stories? \nFeaturing Shyla Sheppard and Missy Begay of Bow & Arrow Brewing (partners in business and life)\, the discussion highlights a contemporary Native business perspective rooted in Indigenous ingredients\, ancestral foodways\, and relationships to land. Their work demonstrates how brewing can reconnect people with regional ingredients and traditional knowledge systems while remaining fully engaged with modern craft brewing. Just as importantly\, Bow & Arrow uses beer as a platform for storytelling and myth-busting\, often challenging outdated perceptions and demonstrating that Native cultures and Native entrepreneurship are vibrant\, innovative\, and active today. \nMatt Gallagher of Suncatcher Brewing offers a complementary lens grounded in local agriculture and collaboration. His approach reflects a growing movement in craft brewing—one that reconnects beer to farmers\, grain\, and hops\, and rethinks brewing as a relationship to place rather than just a product. \nModerated by Madison Bastress\, Director of the D’Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies at the Newberry Library\, the conversation draws on Indigenous history and public scholarship to guide a broader discussion of stewardship\, storytelling\, and thoughtful\, responsible engagement with land and culture. \nThis event also marks the first time Bow & Arrow beer will be available in Chicago or anywhere east of the Mississippi River.

SUMMARY:Out Here
DESCRIPTION:Concept by Leslie Buxbaum\, David J. Levin\, and Erin McKeown\nBook and Lyrics by Leslie Buxbaum\nMusic and Lyrics by Erin McKeown\nDramaturgy by David J. Levin\nDirected by Chay Yew \nRUNS THROUGH MAY 10th\nVaried Times & Dates \nLife happens outside of your comfort zone. Out Here is a courageous new musical\, developed through a dynamic collaboration with the University of Chicago. Audiences will have the rare opportunity to be the first to experience this fresh and intimate look at a family reconfiguring itself and rediscovering joy. \nDawn has a house\, a husband\, and a family\, but she wants more. She wants her ex-girlfriend\, Robin. She wants nothing to change and she wants everything to change\, and she wants to control all the terms. As she’s caught between what’s been and what’s next\, Dawn must learn to reimagine her expectations\, harmonize with loved ones\, and trust the process. If she can do all that\, she might just learn a new song. Strikingly original\, Out Here explores the unexpected freedom in relinquishing control\, and how\, sometimes\, you have to break something apart to create something better. \nLed by acclaimed director Chay Yew\, making his Court debut\, Out Here arrives as a bold\, innovative work that invites Chicago audiences to be among the very first to witness its evolution—bringing the 2025/26 season to a joyous conclusion. \nApproximate running time: 100 minutes; presented without intermission.

SUMMARY:Ragbagalia Arts Fest
DESCRIPTION:As Chicago emerges from its winter burrow\, a new cultural fixture is set to bloom with a historic headlining performance. Ragbagalia\, a brand-new femme and queer arts festival\, officially announces its inaugural event for May 16\, 2026\, at Sleeping Village\, featuring the legendary ESG on their highly-anticipated “Final Dance” tour. \nFor many\, this will be the final opportunity to witness the seismic influence of ESG—a band whose minimalist funk and post-punk rhythms provided the DNA for hip-hop and house music—on a Chicago stage. Their farewell performance anchors a curated “ragbag” team of\nartists dedicated to reclaiming space for voices that deserve to be heard. “In today’s political and cultural climate\, safer\, femme-forward spaces feel more necessary than ever\,” says Tracy Evans\, Founder of Ragbagalia. “Bringing ESG’s ‘Final Dance’ to this stage is the ultimate tribute to the underground. We are pairing these icons with emerging voices to build something that is both revolutionary and a celebration of the legacy they’ve built.” \nInspired by the radical history of the Riot Grrrl movement and the space-making narratives of authors like Sara Marcus and Carrie Brownstein\, Ragbagalia disrupts the traditional festival model. The event is entirely women-led and multidisciplinary\, centering women\, femme\, queer\,\nand marginalized artists across music\, performance\, and visual art. \nAlongside ESG\, the lineup includes Chicago’s own She’s Crafty (all-female Beastie Boys tribute)\, and powerhouse acts Period Bomb\, Uniity\, and Pleeay. Rooted in the city’s supportive arts community\, Evans and co-leader Ashley Barlow (co-founder of littleHEADbutt Studios) have designed Ragbagalia to prioritize safety\, authenticity\, and accessibility. Held at the ADA-accessible Sleeping Village\, the festival emphasizes affordability\nwith an all-day ticket that includes live music and a curated pop-up gallery. In keeping with its commitment to equity\, profits from the event go directly to the participating artists\, with remaining funds donated to the festival’s primary partner\, Punk Rock Saves Lives.

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:The John Waters Screenplays: A Reading and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading and career-spanning conversation with legendary filmmaker and writer John Waters as he celebrates the new reissue of his classic early screenplays. In true icon fashion\, the reading will feature Waters voicing each and every part from a scene in one of his screenplays. \nFrom the transgressive Pink Flamingos to the joy of Hairspray — later a Tony Award-winning musical — Waters redefined independent cinema in the ’70s and ’80s with his singular blend of shock and wit. More than a filmmaker\, Waters is a literary provocateur whose humor challenged every boundary of taste and convention. This conversation explores his journey from young Baltimore filmmaker to the undisputed king of cult cinema\, honoring six of his reissued screenplays: Multiple Maniacs\, Pink Flamingos\, Female Trouble\, Desperate Living\, Flamingos Forever\, and Hairspray. \nPlus\, enter for a chance to read on stage at the event with John Waters when you purchase tickets. \nA signing will follow this event.

SUMMARY:Sunday Reading Series: Riva Lehrer
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Literary Hall of Fame’s been invited to help curate the May edition of Sunday Reading Series: Poetry\, Prose\, & Cocktails. Host Kenyatta Rogers will be there to lead the program\, but Simone Muench has to miss this one. The program will be at the Hungry Brain on Sunday\, May 17.

No worries\, she’ll write the captions herself. She is the author of E (Nightboat Books\, 2026)\, an alterbook embracing the glitch of mishearing as a subversive technology of transformation. This spring\, poems from the book are on view at the Palais de Tokyo\, Paris.

Hébert’s civic engagement catalyzes the move towards and beyond ADA compliance\, from idea to full inclusion and accessibility. As Community Lead\, she worked with Illinois Institute of Technology (IT) students to develop innovations in accessible and inclusive theatre. Currently\, her work with Artists Design the Future (ADtF) explores affordable accessible\, and inclusive Work Live spaces owned and designed by artists\, creatives\, and entrepreneurs. With Disability Lead (ADA 25 Advancing Leadership)\, she sat on its Program Committee\, and serves as an ambassador; as well as a current ambassador and recent member of The Cultural Collaborative (Chicago Cultural Accessibility Coalition) steering committee. A former president of the African American Arts Alliance\, she sits on the honorary board of Piven Theatre Workshop\, and volunteers with local and national arts organizations. \nRiva Lehrer is an artist\, writer and curator who focuses on the socially challenged body.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Advocacy Day with Equality Illinois
DESCRIPTION:Our community is under attack\, and we need your voice now more than ever. \nAcross the country\, we are seeing the rise in harmful efforts targeting LGBTQ+ people\, including renewed pushes to legitimize and expand so-called “conversion therapy\,” a practice that has been widely discredited and condemned for the lasting harm it causes. These attacks threaten the safety\, dignity\, and well-being of our community\, especially LGBTQ+ youth. \nOn May 21\, 2026\, LGBTQ+ Illinoisans and our allies will come together in Springfield to advance equality and send a clear message to our elected officials: our lives are worth protecting. We must do everything in our power to ensure Illinois remains a true sanctuary for LGBTQ+ people\, a place where everyone can live openly\, safely\, and authentically. \nJoin us and bring your friends. Share this call to action with your networks. Together we can stand strong against hate and work towards a future rooted in dignity\, justice\, and care for all.
