Meet the River East Art Center (REAC) resident artists during a month-long program that explores how artists, artworks, and audience interface with one another. In The Exchange Project exhibition, see the evolution and results of collaborations between REAC resident artists working in pairs across media. Opening at the end of the month, the Derivatives group show highlights the relationship between works by REAC's resident artists and correlating pieces created in response by other Chicago artists, writers, and even musicians. Hear the artists' stories behind these collaborative shows at the lecture series, and get your hands dirty as you experiment with clay, metals, charcoal and paint during interactive demonstrations during the Open Studios weekend. Artists include: Tara Fadenrecht and S. Hill-Sanchez.
