• So the Story Goes
  
  • "Photography has always been the perfect medium for recording one's life. Contemporary artists Tina Barney, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Nan Goldin, Sally Mann, and Larry Sultan use their daily experiences as their inspiration and offer viewers a glimpse into their private realities. Just as no two people keep the same diary, each of these five photographers has created highly personal, shifting, and intriguing visions of his or her life."
    
  • The Art Institute of Chicago, 111 S. Michigan Ave.
    
  • September 16-December 3

• Learning from North Lawndale
  
  • "The Learning from North Lawndale exhibition is designed to promote a deeper understanding of the west side community’s unique place in our nation’s history. One of the densest communities in Chicago for much of its early history, North Lawndale is an archive of early 20th century American architecture. The exhibition interweaves the community’s many stories and chronicles its transition from a predominately Jewish community, known as “Chicago Jerusalem” in the 1920s, to a vibrant African American community, which was the site of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Chicago civil rights campaign in 1966."
