This terminates in Elgin at the Metra Train Station. Check sched ules for the MW District West train line for the return trip to Chicago Un ion Station.\nThe Prairie Fox Loop 200K runs the same route out to Elgin\, and then loops back across the north suburbs and down along the north sho re\, ending back at Monroe Harbor. \nThis one's a populaire: a shorter\, i nformal brevet-style ride — same controls\, same self-sufficiency\, same spirit as a full brevet\, just under the 200k minimum that makes a ride " official" for RUSA award purposes. It's the on-ramp distance. No pressure\ , no ladder to climb — just you\, the route\, and the clock. \nPrairie F ox runs one-way\, Chicago to Elgin\, 100k with three controls along the wa y (Batavia\; the Fox River Trail/Cedar Ave intersection\; and the finish a t Elgin Metra Station). About a third of the route — 33k — is unpaved\ , so bring tires that can handle gravel. Net elevation is gentle: 1\,176 f t of climbing spread over the day\, nothing that'll wreck your legs. \nFin ish at the Elgin Metra station and hop a train back into the city. You can also do the Prairie Fox Loop 200k if you'd like\, or keep riding straight home from Elgin\, whatever your legs and your schedule want. That flexibi lity is baked into the ride: it ends when you decide it ends. You do need to decide which ride you are doing\, the 100k or 200k\, before the start in order to earn the appropriate credit.  \nWhether you're rando-curious or a veteran looking for a low-key fall outing\, this is a good one.

This lecture ask s: when does making domestic intimacy strange produce critical distance\, and when does it merely entertain? It begins with a 1931 conversation betw een Bertolt Brecht and Walter Benjamin about dwelling after the bourgeois interior. Benjamin found an answer in traceless surfaces of glass and stee l\, and the tabula rasa of the concrete frame. Brecht turned to the nomadi c guest\, whose presence unsettles habitual relations to objects and space . Following Brecht’s theatrical method of estrangement\, the lecture mov es to Chicago\, the distant metropolis where his plays exposed capitalism ’s effects on everyday life. There\, the steel frame converted openness into speculation\, experimental glass houses marketed mobility\, and resid ential hotels organized transient dwelling within fireproof concrete struc tures. These architectures define estrangement not as novelty or discomfor t\, but as a project of distance: making the spatial and economic conventi ons of dwelling perceptible\, questionable and open to transformation.\n\n Marullo's research interrogates the relations between space\, labor and pr oduction through the multiple forms of the architectural project — from words to drawings\, from abstraction to construction.\n\nContact huminst@u ic.edu to request accessibility accommodations.

Essential reading for anyone having sex in the 21st century\, How to Do Consent moves the conversation past stale and rigid assumptions toward one rooted in connection\, fulfillment\, and self-discovery. \nTimely\, pr ovocative\, real-world\, and affirming\, Schachter’s work dispels miscon ceptions like: \n\n“Consent can be done perfectly”: When in practice\, it’s relative\, subjective\, fluid\, and interpersonal—there’s no o ne right way to do it.\n“If you can’t talk about sex\, you shouldn’t be having it”: Abstinence lite is unrealistic\; talking about sex requi res experience\, trial\, and error.\n“Consent will save us”: Consent i s a harm-reduction strategy\, not a panacea.\n“Enthusiasm is a requireme nt for consensual sex”: Utterly unenthusiastic but totally consensual se x happens all the time. It’s fine!\n“Consent is something that men do for women”: It’s a shared\, communal responsibility—and anyone of an y gender can violate another’s’ boundaries.\n“Sexuality is always in nate and unchangeable”: While honoring the reality that many are “born this way\,” Schachter shares how their own desires and sexuality have b een both fluid and actively sculpted.\n\nGrounded in Schachter’s work as an intimacy coordinator and consent educator—and informed by insights f rom sex workers\, therapists\, kink practitioners\, and community leaders —How to Do Consent (Without Sounding Like a Robot) offers a provocative and bitingly funny alternative to the myths and practices that keep us sil ent\, confused\, anxious\, and disconnected—and that hold us back from a sking for (and discovering) what we really want. \n \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nMi a Schachter is a writer\, multi-media artist and musician\, and the creato r of Consent Wizardry\, an online consent school serving over a thousand s tudents seeking more easeful relationships\, clearer boundaries\, and auth entic self-expression. Mia also works as an intimacy coordinator for TV\, film\, and theater. They’ve taught and spoken for organizations includin g Planned Parenthood\, XBiz\, and the Directors Guild’s Women’s Steeri ng Committee. Drawing on a background in philosophy\, gender studies\, eth ics\, and neuroscience—as well as their lived experience with chronic il lness—Schachter explores consent as a creative\, anti-carceral practice that links body\, desire\, and imagination.

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, we’re also taking time to c onsider the ways people in the United States practice democracy through ci vic action\, including by making art\, establishing community\, and cultur al expression. \nLocated on the Northwest Side of Chicago\, the community has been defined by its strong cultural presence throughout the ages. Humb oldt Park was named after naturalist and geographer Alexander von Humboldt (1759–1859) in 1869. Interestingly\, the one time that von Humboldt vis ited the United States\, he did not travel to Chicago. The community was a nnexed into Chicago the same year as its naming\, following the creation o f the West Park System (which also includes Douglass and Garfield Park). T hese three parks—connected by the Boulevard Park System—were establish ed to provide Chicago residents with some relief from the congested landsc ape of the city. \nIn a city known for its cultural and ethnic diversity\, Humboldt Park stands out as the center of Puerto Rican culture in both Ch icago and the American Midwest. Since the 1960s\, it has been home to Chic ago’s Puerto Rican community. This thought-provoking tour explores the h istory of the iconic West Side neighborhood through the public art proudly displayed along the six blocks of Division Street (Paseo Boricua) and in Humboldt Park. \n$25\, $22.50 members \nTour runs approximately 90 minutes .

Some artists spend ye ars trying to form a band and create their unique sound. Whether they are looking for a pianist\, background singer\, bass player\, or drummer\, the process can be frustrating and complicated. After all\, how can you be so sure you’ve found someone who not only compliments your musicianship\, but is also a fit with your personality? How do you place a want ad for ch emistry…or “harmony”? For the members of T.3 – Liam Fenneken\, Ji m Hogan and Brendan Jacob Smith – that search didn’t take years. They found each other thanks to their shared interests\, the power of social me dia…and eventually found their harmony thanks to a spontaneous decision to record in a stairwell. It’s one of those “lightning in a bottle” stories that can’t be explained using logic alone\, but the elements of synchronicity have helped them create something truly special. Liam and Jim met while attending Penn State University - Liam was a theater major a nd Jim was in the school’s musical theater program. Fast forward a few y ears\, and Jim and Liam met Brendan when they went to see Hyannis Sound pe rform\, Cape Cod’s professional a capella group. They clicked instantly\ , since Liam and Jim had performed with Hyannis Sound years before. All th ree eventually met up in New York City to sing together. Despite having a capella as a strong building block of the trio’s foundation\, it’s so mething upon which they are building. They’re not letting themselves be confined by the term\, instead exploring ways to add to the sound for whic h they are known. “We love a capella\, that's how we all met\, and it g reatly affects the way we arrange and perform our music together\,” says Liam. “Our goal is to bridge the gap between a capella and instrument-s upported vocal performance. We’ve been enjoying singing together and try ing to sing a little something for everyone\, and I think people appreciat e the authenticity of three dudes singing together because it’s fun and sounds good!” Having fun and finding what sounds good is how they becam e an unintentional trio. Upon meeting\, Brendan asked Jim and Liam to sing a song with him in his parents’ stairwell as something fun to put on th e internet. That first video of “Into the Unknown” went viral\, so the y decided to meet up again the next week. Except…COVID-19 struck and eve rything went into lockdown. Throughout the pandemic\, as millions of peop le learned the spirit of resilience in the face of tragedy\, Jim\, Liam an d Brendan leaned on each other. They found themselves diving into their mu sic\, their friendship\, and their routine. They forged ahead\, watching t he second video for “Defying Gravity” go viral\, as did the third\, a performance of “When the Party’s Over.” Each cover earned them more and more buzz\, with some videos reaching 250\,000 views and multiple exc eeding one million. As all of this was happening\, they didn’t have an o fficial name or the intention to turn it into something bigger. But for J im\, the fact that they stumbled on something so naturally–and effortles sly–only told them one thing: Keep going. “For me\, that organic qual ity is what makes us work so well\,” he says. “We just happened to be three high tenors who all have distinct solo voices and tones from our yea rs of training in different genres\, so our unique blend came to us much f aster than if we had started from zero. Luck meeting years of preparation and training led to us finding the T.3 magic.” That magic extends beyond T.3 in their individual careers as well\, as all three have been actively involved in performing on Broadway and various tours in the U.S.\, Canada and internationally. Brendan currently plays Art Garfunkel in the U.S./C anada Company of The Simon and Garfunkel Story and was recently seen as Ma lcolm McGregor in The Full Monty at North Shore Music Theater. Jim is a st andby for Buddy in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Kimberly Akimbo \, with additional Broadway national touring credits that include Waitress \, The Phantom of the Opera and Spring Awakening. Liam recently starred in Broadway’s Chicago as Amos Hart and has toured the U.S. and Korea in Sc hool of Rock\, in addition to Once\, American Idiot and Peter Pan 360. As time went on\, the group’s desire to ask what they could achieve togeth er led to a chapter on national TV. In 2021\, T.3 auditioned for Season 1 6 of America’s Got Talent with their rendition of “Into the Unknown\, ” from Frozen 2. In a video of the audition that\, on its own\, has garn ered more than 4.3 million views on YouTube\, the energy shift is visible the moment the members of T.3 sing their first note. The electrifying perf ormance led to the audience springing to their feet in a standing ovation that each of the four judges shared. T.3 made its way into America’s hom es all the way through the quarterfinals\, simultaneously creating a loyal following while catapulting them to semi-permanent viral status on social media. Collectively\, across Facebook\, YouTube\, Instagram and TikTok\, they are rapidly approaching one million social media followers. On TikTo k alone\, they have achieved more than 5.7 million likes. They release new videos constantly\, with song selections ranging from Disney to Broadway and pop\, even letting fans peek behind the curtain of their arrangements. That process is Brendan’s favorite part of being in the group. “The three of us sit around the piano and throw out ideas until the arrangement is finished\,” he says. “It’s a very creative and spur-of-the-momen t way of doing things\, but it keeps it fresh. It forces us to push oursel ves and do something new every single time.” In fact\, each chapter of T.3’s musical journey together leads to something different\, surprising and exhilarating\, something fans will be able to experience more in-pers on. In addition to the recent release of their first original song (and t he first with instrumental accompaniment) “Dilly Dilly\,” the group is planning the release of their first EP\, Option Up\, on December 8. To ce lebrate the EP\, T.3 will head out on an eight-city national tour Dec. 8-1 8\, where fans will be able to hear (and feel) this deep and dynamic music ianship. One thing is for sure: Fans will experience that vocal harmony f or which the group is known\, as well as the harmony between each member ’s individual roles of musician\, performer and songwriter.\nTicket URL: https://tickets.citywinery.com/event/t3-the-fifth-season-tour-brunch-t5ek dl LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T062031Z LOCATION:Main Stage\, City Winery Chicago\, 1200 W.

She and Jake convince them that if t hey share all their entire candy stash\, everyone will end up with enough candy. On their way back from Creepy Crawly Lane\, they run into a tap-dan cing skeleton getting ready for a dance performance. They stop to watch he r dance and wish her luck! Then back at the Foggy Forest\, the Cauldron pr oduces a map back to Mallory’s haunted house.

In a filing cabinet in th e church office? In photographs stored in someone’s basement? In newslet ters\, meeting minutes\, protest flyers\, membership registers\, email lis ts\, or boxes that have not been opened in years? \nAs part of Beyond Bel ief: Religion and Social Change in 1960s Chicago\, the Newberry Library is offering free Community Archival Training Workshops to help religious con gregations\, activist and historical organizations\, and community groups preserve and share their histories. \nThese practical\, hands-on workshops are designed for organizations with little or no archival experience. Par ticipants will explore how archives can strengthen community identity\, pr eserve intergenerational memory\, document organizational achievements\, a nd ensure that important stories are not lost. \nThe workshops are offered in two parts each year. Participants are welcome to attend either worksh op or both\, depending on their interests and needs. \nPart 1 focuses on the big-picture questions of community archiving: Why do archives matter? What should we preserve? How do we involve community members in documentin g our history? Participants will learn how to identify archival records\, begin organizing collections\, think through questions of privacy and acce ss\, and make thoughtful decisions about stewardship and sharing. \nPart 2  focuses on the practical aspects of caring for collections over time. Pa rticipants will learn safe handling techniques\, affordable preservation s trategies\, storage best practices\, and the basics of disaster preparedne ss. The workshop also introduces digitization and explores the growing cha llenge of preserving born-digital materials such as email newsletters\, we bsites\, social media content\, photographs\, and files stored in the clou d. \nEach session includes examples drawn from the Newberry’s collection s and Chicago’s rich history of faith communities and social movements\, along with opportunities to discuss participants’ own collections and p reservation challenges. \nThe stories of Chicago’s congregations\, commu nity organizations\, and movements for social change are too important to be lost to time\, water damage\, obsolete technology\, or forgotten boxes. Together\, we can help ensure that these histories remain accessible\, me aningful\, and discoverable for future generations. \nIn addition to works hops held at the Newberry\, a limited number of customized on-site traini ngs are available for organizations interested in developing archival pra ctices tailored to their own collections and communities. Write to belief @newberry.org to inquire about arranging such a workshop. \nThis program is part of Beyond Belief: Religion and Social Change in 1960s Chicago\, a wide-ranging\, multi-year public humanities initiative at the Newberry ex ploring the role of religious communities in movements for civil rights\, urban change\, activism\, and social transformation in Chicago during the 1960s and beyond. \nBeyond Belief is generously supported by Lilly Endowm ent Inc.\, through its “Religion and Cultural Institutions” Initiative .

Born in Los Angeles\, but attending high s chool and college in East Kansas\, Marqueal Jordan has always had a love a nd ear for music. While learning the Tenor Saxophone at age 12\, Marqueal discovered his singing voice crooning popular songs to the school girls on the blacktop. After singing in University of Kansas’s Inspirational Gos pel Voices Choir\, and leading a song or two in several college bar bands\ , he took singing seriously upon moving to Chicago in 1995. Marqueal chann elled his love for Prince\, Stevie\, Al Green\, James Brown\, Marvin Gaye\ , Maxwell and D’Angelo into a soulful vocal style and unique frontman pe rsona. The result is a confident stage presence that leaves audiences ques tioning if he sings better than he plays Saxophone. Marqueal has release d three solo albums which include songs that feature him vocally. With lon gtime creative partner D.J. INC\, he is featured on a Chicago Steppers cla ssic “Grown And Sexy” that has been in rotation for 20 years. He’s a lso seen success on the charts with his most recent solo vocal single\, “Dot Dot Dot (The Sequel)”\, reaching #8 on the Urban Influencer R&B/S oul Chart. Besides being co-lead vocalist and Musical Director for the leg endary Chicago based R&B/Soul collective Midnight Sun Band\, Marqueal has also provided vocal support for Oleta Adams\, Patti Austin\, Peabo Bryson\ , Faith Evans\, Joe\, Marcus Miller\, Eric Roberson\, David Sanborn\, Isai ah Sharkey and Sy Smith. Music that reflects a unique perspective on life is SLIQUE JAY ADAMS. He speaks about life and love through song. As a pro lific songwriter and versatile producer and performer\, Slique Jay Adams i s an emerging sensation in a generation filled solely with hip hop and pop . His incredible talent is second to none and his gifted ability won’t a llow his music to be locked into one genre or sound of music. His vibe is a harmonious blend of rhythm\, blues\, soul\, gospel\, pop\, dance\, jazz and hip-hop that fills the void in a generation that has yet to experience true love through music. Slique’s debut single “Your Body” garnered a top 20 with over 34\,000 BDS spins. Slique has also achieved significan t success with previous singles such as "Addicted\," and “Mind Blowing D ecisions” which has become certified classics\, particularly within the stepping community and beyond. In 2024\, his latest release\, "Brown Liquo r\," premiered as an iHeartRadio world debut and subsequently secured plac ement on Apple Music’s top playlists\, among others. The album\, also ti tled "Brown Liquor\," has garnered millions of streams and was named Album of the Year in the UK. This recognition contributed to Slique being named Artist of the Month in both August and September 2025 on The UK's Urban I nfluencer Chart\, alongside notable artists such as October London. Anothe r song from the album “Chill” was featured on the hit tv series “The Chi”. Slique performs with his band regularly and recently opened the “R&B Forever Tour” with Tank\, Ginuwine\, Bell Biv DeVoe\, and Silk at the Wintrust Arena as well as headlining numerous venues throughout the U .S. Slique has also created viral videos with millions of views on Faceboo k\, TikTok\, and Instagram increasing his visibility and engagement. These efforts have contributed to his growth as an artist and have elevated his status as one of the most sought-after vocalists and performers.\nTicket URL: https://tickets.citywinery.com/event/in-the-key-of-3-sweetest-day-edi tion-roq2oz LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T061716Z LOCATION:Main Stage\, City Winery Chicago\, 1200 W.

View all dates / times here! GRAMMY-winning trump eter Chris Botti has been one of the most popular instrumentalists in the world for nearly three decades\; he’s collaborated with some of the bigg est superstars on the planet\, including Sting\, Paul Simon\, Barbra Strei sand\, Lady Gaga\, Tony Bennett\, Frank Sinatra\, Aretha Franklin\, Bette Midler\, Joni Mitchell\, Steven Tyler\, Andrea Bocelli\, Herbie Hancock\, Yo-Yo Ma\, and others\; he’s topped the jazz charts with numerous albums \, earned multiple Gold and Platinum records\, performed with symphony orc hestras and on prestigious stages from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House. In short\, Chris Botti really needs no introdu ction. Yet with his Blue Note Records debut\, he’s offering one anyway. Vol.1 is in many ways a fresh start for the trumpeter. Having successfully crossed over from jazz renown to pop stardom\, Botti’s first album in m ore than a decade finds him crossing back\, with a small group project foc used on acoustic jazz and classic standards. “I turned 60 in 2022\, at a time that seemed like a restart for so many things in the world\,” Bott i says. “I wanted to strip away all the orchestral arrangements and spec ial guests and focus more on my playing\, the playing of my band\, and the se jazz classics that we always love playing on stage.” While Botti coul d boast of the major names with whom he’s shared stages\, this project a llows him to share his enthusiasm for the jazz greats past and present tha t excite him – his conversation is peppered with references to everyone from Miles Davis to Keith Jarrett to Pat Metheny to Brad Mehldau. He point s to landmark albums like Davis’ Kind of Blue\, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman\, or Metheny’s duo outing with Charlie Haden\, Beyond the Misso uri Sky as models for the kind of “lifestyle” music he set out to make – music that is exquisite on its own but can also set the scene for a c offee shop or hotel lounge\, instantly generating a sophisticated mood. Of course\, Botti couldn’t have found a more ideal home for this artistic rebirth. Blue Note has been a standard-bearer of jazz throughout its stori ed history\, and the trumpeter found a receptive partner in label presiden t Don Was. “Anyone that's lucky enough to say they're on Blue Note Recor ds should be pinching themselves\,” Botti says. “It's a fantastic hono r. I had great runs on Verve and Columbia\, so it’s amazing to now arriv e on the most famous traditional jazz record label.”\nTicket URL: https: //tickets.citywinery.com/event/chris-botti-jap0yu LAST-MODIFIED:20260816T001938Z LOCATION:Main Stage\, City Winery Chicago\, 1200 W.

Just last year\, the blues legend Ruthie Foste r took home her first-ever Grammy\, winning Best Contemporary Blues Album for her album Mileage. The award was a long time coming for the star\, who has been hustling to make a life as an artist possible for over three dec ades. Foster was first signed to a major label after completing her tour o f duty as part of the US Navy. She then abandoned music in 1993 to take ca re of her mom who had fallen ill. Shortly after her mother’s death\, the singer decided to find a path back to music as an independent artist. “I wrote this thing on a sticky note and it just said ‘Just say yes\, ’” she recalls. That little note-to-self stuck with Foster as she re-p ursued her dream. She has that sticky note to thank for all that’s come after\, so she’s honoring it with her latest album Just Say Yes (out Aug ust 28 via Sun Records). Ruthie reunited with her Mileage collaborators T yler Bryant and Rebecca Lovell (of Larkin Poe) in Nashville\, working out of Bryant’s new studio. This time around\, Larkin Poe collaborator Megan Lovell joined them in the studio as well as Megan’s husband Mike Seal. “Every last one of these songs are about some aspect of my life\,” Fo ster explains. “This was my way of being true to who I am and knowing th at I’m in yet another transition in my life\, which is how these albums tend to happen.”\nTicket URL: https://tickets.citywinery.com/event/ruthi e-foster-rkkr03 LAST-MODIFIED:20260817T062817Z LOCATION:Main Stage\, City Winery Chicago\, 1200 W.

Before the opening of the Michigan Avenue Bridge (now DuSab le Bridge) in 1920\, it was isolated from the downtown business district a nd home to only a few wealthy families\, such as the McCormicks\, Palmers\ , and Ryersons. \nThe area soon became the heart of the upper crust of Chi cago society. Sociologist Harvey Warren Zorbaugh\, who claimed that colleg e boys returning from the East Coast dubbed the area the “Gold Coast\, ” immortalized it in his book The Gold Coast and the Slum: A Sociologica l Study of Chicago’s Near North Side (University of Chicago Press\, 1929 \; reprint 1983). The density of wealth in the Gold Coast buffered it agai nst the deterioration that threatened other portions of the North Side in the 1950s. \nGaze at ornate architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis S ullivan\, step onto a rare wood-block alleyway\, and take in Chicago’s e arly mansions\, including the Archbishop’s Residence. \n$25\, $22.50 mem bers  \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours.

There’s an obvi ous reason why the veteran guitarist’s booking schedule is so jam-packed : Smiley knows how to have a good time and makes sure his audience does to o. After 55 years on the local blues scene\, Tillmon serves up the blues a nd soul standards that people never seem to stop craving\, his rich vocals and fluid guitar backed by a band that keeps his grooves tight and right. \nBorn Moses Tillmon in rural Jefferson County\, Georgia\, Smiley grew up on a hearty musical diet of gospel\, country\, and a little blues. His mo ther moved to Fort Lauderdale when he was ten\; there he was exposed to ca lypso music\, adding up to a singular list of influences. Tillmon took up guitar and was good enough by the dawn of the ‘60s to back Miami R&B sin ger Billy Miranda in the studio. He joined Sammy Ambrose & the Afro-Beats\ , a calypso-oriented band\, touring from Canada to New York. Smiley bid th e Afro-Beats adieu in 1962 and moved to Chicago. There he established hims elf on the blues circuit\, playing with Billy “The Kid” Emerson\, Deni se LaSalle\, and other South Side luminaries until he opted for a day job in 1977. \nUpon his 2007 retirement\, Smiley reverted to full-time musical status. He joined forces with bassist Tom Rezetko\, and they’ve been in separable onstage ever since. Kate Moss shares guitar duties with Tillmon\ ; married to another blues guitar standout\, Nick Moss\, Kate’s sound is heavily influenced by Freddie King and Magic Sam (she fell in love with t he blues at age 21 when she met Buddy Guy\, and she’s shared stages with Buddy\, Jimmy Johnson\, Eddie Shaw\, and Lurrie Bell\, to name just a few ). Drummer George Baumann completes one of the Windy City’s toughest blu es combos\, one that’ll keep you smiling from ear to ear.   – Bill Da hl \n\n  \nABOUT BILLY FLYNN \n\nBilly Flynn has a long and storied histo ry playing Chicago blues.

They’re animal skins\, a byproduct of the meat in dustry. Yet it’s always mired in problems of context. Whether it’s foo tball or leather harnesses\, it’s encapsulated in pleasure\, desire and power. An encounter with leather can be luxurious: a Birkin bag. It can be sexual: a dominatrix in a BDSM dungeon. It can be despicable: books made of human skin (or\, purported to be). It can be controversial: protests of animal cruelty. It can be hypermasculine: a pigskin ball crushing a skull . \nWhen attached to a human host\, leather becomes a cunning sidekick. Fo r destruction or construction is what follows: is it a tool of liberation\ , or domination? And what are the fringed edges that reveal a grunting gri mace at its winking history? The work presented in Leather: A Problem of C ontext is about what could’ve been\, should’ve been\, or once was: but never fully materialized. Schwindt excavates and then conceals the legaci es of leather\, compressed into pleasantly claustrophobic figures and surf aces. \nThe exhibition is an epidermis\, exposed and weathered\, and showc ases the history of a material often made contentious and convoluted. \nAr tist Website: samuelschwindt.xyz LAST-MODIFIED:20260915T054858Z LOCATION:Robert F.

The lineup of greats Garcia has performed with speaks for itself: Aretha Franklin\, Arturo Sandoval\, Spoon\, Monty Alexander\, Wynton Marsalis\, Victor Manuelle\, Nicholas Payton\, La India\, the Tempt ations\, Steve Turre\, BeBe Winans\, Tito Puente\, Jr.\, Paquito d’River a\, Christian McBride\, Randy Brecker\, Branford Marsalis\, The Isley Brot hers\, and Dr. John.
