Art & Design Events...

Welcome to '08 from Apartment Therapy!
- The January Jumpstart project gets underway this month.
Hedrich Blessing: Interiors: Architectural Photography of the 1930s
- "The 1930s was the first full decade of business of the greatest architectural photography firm in America. Chicago's Hedrich Blessing was the firm chosen by the best architects and designers to document their creations. And like their famously cinematic exterior shots of the modern buildings that made them known the world over, HBs interior views often resembled movie sets."
- ArchiTech Gallery of Architectural Art, 730 North Franklin suite 200
- Friday, January 11 to Saturday, March 8, 2008
